Melody's April 2017 Wrap Up - Hollywood the Write Way

I can’t believe April has come and gone! That went by so fast, oh my goodness. But guys. Can we talk for a second? ANGIE TRIBECA IS BACK. I repeat. Angie Tribeca is back. If you are not watching this show (Mondays at 10:30/9:30c), I feel bad that you can’t enjoy the ridiculousness of this type of comedy. You are truly missing out. Angie Tribeca is in its third season on TBS (10 episodes per season) and it’s one of the silliest, laugh out loud comedies I’ve ever seen. Ever. It stars Rashida Jones, was created by Steve & Nancy Carell, and it’s so funny, oh my goodness. I’ve gushed about this show before and really, it just keeps getting better. I think season 3 is my favorite season yet and that’s no easy task since the first 2 seasons were stellar. Technically, I guess you could jump right into season 3 but I highly recommend you watch from season 1 (it’s on Hulu) and enjoy every bit of this show’s ridiculousness.

Also, the series finale of Bates Motel aired on A&E a few days ago and I have it on my DVR but I don’t want it to end, so who knows when I’ll actually watch it. I’m like that with series finales. And now, there’s nothing else worth mentioning at the moment, so let’s dive right into the wrap up!

April Notes

* Over at Writer’s Block Party, I blogged all about how I use Scrivener as not just a novelist but a blogger. Highly recommend other writers/bloggers check that out!
* My latest Loot Crate haul got primal and you can check out that beast here.
