October 2017 Releases On My Radar

There is SO much to look forward to this month! Fall TV season is in full swing this month as a bunch of new seasons premiere and boy, am I ready! When it comes to dramas, I’m most anticipating the return of The Walking Dead, Mr. Robot, and Van Helsing. I have mixed feelings but overall enjoyed the season premiere of Once Upon A Time and am DYING for it to premiere to see what everyone else thinks. I highly recommend tuning in for the series premiere of the ABC drama, Ten Days in the Valley starring Kyra Sedgwick. I’ve seen the first two episodes and they are amazing!

As for comedy, the final season of The Middle is upon us so I am going to savor every single moment to come. The premiere is one of its best premieres so make sure you watch. I am super pumped for more of Fresh Off the Boat and black-ish! I also highly recommend checking out the new ABC comedy, The Mayor. I was pleasantly surprised and will be tuning in all season long. And if you’re wondering, yes, Lea Michele basically plays another version of Rachel Berry here but she’s not the focus of the show so it’s fine, I guess? As much as I love Glee and Rachel Berry, nothing brings me more joy than seeing Lea in a role that doesn’t resemble Rachel. Anyway, rounding out my most anticipated are Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because they are the absolute best!

When it comes to movies, I’m very much looking forward to Blade Runner 2049 and Mountain Between Us. Everything else I can pretty much wait for on Netflix and the like.

As for books… I’m excited for new titles by Lauren Oliver, Jennifer Rush, Colleen Hoover, Mindy McGinnis, Jen Lancaster, Emmy Laybourne, Malinda Lo, and Cynthia Hand to name a few. It’s been far too long since I’ve read a new title from Jennifer Rush and I cannot wait!
