New things discovered...
September 1st, 2013 08:32 pmSo, while in Canada, we bought some actual physical books. I realised that bookshops have become things that I only go into when on holiday. In fact, that's practically true for any sort of shops. I can't be bothered to go to the city centre these days. Anyway. We went to a lovely bookshop, we browsed, I bought actual books!

As well as books, one evening I decided I didn't have the energy to go out and requested an evening of TV.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
aveleh suggested that she'd been planning to try out Orphan Black and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oxfordslacker had already seen some and liked it so we went for it. We ended up blitzing the first four episodes that night because the moment I saw episode one I was totally addicted. It has some amazing characters, incredibly acted and I really enjoy the plotting as well, although I can imagine that the more scientifically inclined might find that snagging them. I am slightly bemused that no-one had put me onto it beforehand - I have mentioned that I'm interested in good genre TV shows, right? I obviously need to improve my recommendations system - does anyone know anyone who was reccing it? UK people I'm letting off on the grounds that it hasn't actually aired here yet (despite being a BBC thing - I didn't realise BBC America made it's own stuff too). It's actually coming to BBC3 in the autumn, apparently and everyone should watch it!
