Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme from Goodreads, created by Lainey from Gingerreadslainey and now moderated by Sam from ThoughtsOnTomes. This week’s topic is: Current Favorites that Aren’t Books!
No books…well…I guess I have other interests…
- I just discovered BitMojis and I am already addicted to it. They appeal to my juvenile sense of humor, and my texts to my family and friends are filled with them. I made a little avatar of myself and this app puts your avatar in cute little pics. Why type the word yes, when I can send a bitmoji of myself holding up a yes sign?
- The NBC tv series This Is Us. It has every television trope you can think of and I LOVE IT! The first episode had an almost nude Milo Ventimiglia in it- need I say more?
- Goodreads. I love organizing and reviewing my books. I write reviews on every book I currently read, with the graphic novel reviews additionally showing up on this blog. But this way I can share reviews on all genres of books, in addition to writing mini-reviews on book series that I had finished before I opened an account on Goodreads. The site also has put me in touch with other bloggers outside of WordPress and introduced me to fun memes like T5W!
- News about Star Trek Discovery has me excited! I’ve posted more about Star Wars in this blog, but I love me some Trek. Set a decade before the events of TOS, the series follows the crew of the USS Discovery as they discover new worlds and civilizations, and has some intriguing actors already signed up. It is not part of the rebooted JJ Abrams franchise and will debut on CBS before moving to All Access.
- My husband and I joined a wine club at a nearby winery, and we receive three bottles of wine quarterly. I’m a fan of Riesling and Moscato white wines, and Prairie State Winery has delicious wines that fit the bill! In addition they have live music, special events and meals for members. Good wine, music & food- our membership was a great investment!
So there you have it- other passions of mine, besides books!

Bitmoji has become a staple in my text messages! Thanks for explaining Goodreads. I’ve been curious about it.

If I could reply as a Bitmoji in my blog comments, I so would!

I love This Is Us! Even my mom is hooked on it and she hardly watches anything that’s not Law & Order or The Voice.
I’ll add you on my Goodreads! It’s great for quick book recs too.

I love Goodreads! I don’t even remember how I discovered new books before I found that site. Haha.

I was so hesitant about joining when a friend first recommended it to me, and now I’m on it everyday!

I’m just sad i missed out on this t5w , i had so many things to pick from it would have been hard to choose just 5 .
Cool list , I’m also awaiting the Star Trek show since it’d be my first Star Trek show ,I do know all the mythos about Star Trek but I haven’t really seen it before , except the movie of course

The movies are great, but I enjoy the original series (TOS) and The Next Generation (TNG) tv shows. Plus I’ve been watching a webseries called Star Trek Continues (http://www.startrekcontinues.com/) in which new actors portray the TOS crew and have further adventures,

the originals were aired way before I was born , and in India there are no repeat telecast so basically i can’t see it , even though I want to … This fact adds more to my excitement levels for the new series

I love good reads too. But sometimes I end up reading so many reviews, that I am never sure whether to pick up a book or not!
‘This Is Us’. Loved it! Also a huge fan of Milo Ventimiglia. If you fancy a read, here is my bit on it.

Now that I have been on Goodreads long enough, I realize that every book is going to have lovers and haters, and ultimately I need to make the decision myself. At times, it’s s huge time suck for me reading what others thought of the same book!
