If you’re involved in the book community (whether it’s blogging, BookTube, Instagram, or Twitter), you probably love reading. 💕😉 But sometimes…we just want something different. Sometimes we just want to be a couch potato and binge watch a TV show. Here are a couple of my favorites you can add to your watch list!🍿🎬
1. All Things Disney
Okay, I’m kind of cheating with this first one, but how can I choose just one Disney show? I grew up watching Disney, and I still like to rewatch them as a guilty pleasure. My personal favorites are the Suite Life on Deck, Wizards of Waverly Place, Good Luck Charlie, and Hannah Montana. ✨
2. Gossip Girl
This show is so unrealistic and over-the-top, but it’s so fun to watch! There’s so much drama in the show that it gives me excitement for my own life. 😂 My favorite characters are Jenny, Eric, and Blair. 💖
3. How I Met Your Mother
I never expected to like this series, but after one episode, I was hooked! The show is filled with witty humor, fun characters, and a plotline that will tempt you to binge watch all 9 seasons. 😂 The show follows Ted Mosbey, and his group of friends in NYC, as he recounts to his children the events that led him to meet their mother. 😘
4. Suits
Starring the wonderful Meghan Markle 👑 , Suits follows the life of Mike Ross, a talented college dropout who lands a job at a top-tier NYC law firm. The show follows individuals in the law firm as they work on high stakes cases while trying to keep Mike’s secret. 🤐 Every episode is filled with enough drama to keep you on your toes!
5. Fresh Off the Boat 
This show is so funny and heartwarming. 💓 I love the characters, the messages, the plot, but most importantly, the representation of Asian American culture in media. Fresh off the Boat follows a Taiwanese-American family who moves from Chinatown, DC to Orlando, Florida. As they strive to achieve the “American Dream”, they must also balance assimilating and preserving their culture. 🇺🇸🇹🇼
(Bonus) Strong Woman Do Bong Soon 
I could have an entire list of K-Dramas that I love, but my absolute favorite is definitely Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. 😍 The series follows Do Bong-Soon, a girl who was born with superhuman strength. I love this show because it empowers women, but it also demonstrates that you can be smol and cute but also badass and heroic. 🌟 Whether you want fluffy romance or suspense and action, this show has it all!
Have you watched any of these shows? What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments! 💕
YAAAS to Disney! I loved Suite Life on Deck and Wizards of Waverly Place growing up. Not a fan of HIMYM, but I do love FRIENDS, which is sort-of similar. I also watched a few Fresh of the Boat eps and loved them!!! I FEEL THE ASIAN-NESS AND I LOVE IT! I really need to get back into k-drama too. D:

Yes, same! And it makes me not “like” her so much as an actress as well.
I agree! And the kiss that made Donna realize she didn’t love him in that way? That was soo weird, and didn’t make any sense at all.

Right?? That kiss was SOOO dramatic, so I don’t get why it made her realize she doesn’t like him 😠

I think the writers did it on purpose, to draw out their storyline, because they’re afraid that once they get together, viewers will get bored.

I loooove Gossip Girl. I went through phases on who I hated and loved (first I loved Serena then I hated her and loved Blair and it went back and forth) but ultimately Chuck and Blair wound up on top as favorites xD (how could you not love them?). I also loved Jenny before she went psycho. And I grew up on Disney shows–I think my fave was Wizards of Waverly Place (and then Good Luck Charlie after that) but I also loved the Suite Life shows.

YES!! Jenny in the first season was my absolute fav ❤ I think I started the series liking Serena more, but now I like Blair more haha. I really loved Selena Gomez as Alex in Wizards ^_^ Good Luck Charlie and Suite Life are always on my rewatch list too 😉

I don’t think I have watched enough Disney shows. But now that you have mentioned it, I am totally onboard. Recommend me some?
Oh, I am currently watching Gossip Girl and oh boy, it is totally unrealistic but yes there is so much drama. I am watching season 4 currently and someone told me by mistake that Dan and Blair are going to be a couple and I am not able to digest that fact. I mean why?? My favorites are Blair and Chuck, and yes Jenny too 🙂 And I totally hate Serena. She is always so selfish.
I love How I Met Your Mother. It was one hell of a show. I loved Barney and Robin in that.
I am yet to start watching Suits. It’s on my watching list.
