Happy Halloween! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Halloween!

It's the final day of the month and one of the best since it's Halloween. Did you celebrate over the weekend or are you planning something for today? The only thing I did over the weekend was go to my favorite bookstore on Saturday because there was a fun little Halloween themed event and sale (I got a few books). Later that night, I went over to my friend's house for a mini horror movie marathon. So tonight, I'm just going to relax at home and watch TV while eating some Halloween candy.

And speaking of watching TV, for this geeky Halloween list, I kind of went old school/retro/modern classics for most of the picks. Hopefully, there's something on the list that will interest someone. Here's also the links to my two (1 and 2) previous geeky lists. Well, ghouls and goblins, I hope everyone will have a spooktacular Halloween!

Books I Want To Read:

On My List are three books that seem really interesting: a food centered romance, a spellbinding fantasy and a young adult romance. Each book feels like a good read you can curl up with.

Book: A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee

Description:

Jayci Lee delivers “a perfect balance of impeccable wit, laugh out loud hilarity, and off the charts chemistry. A Sweet Mess is a sinfully decadent romantic comedy.”—New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting

Aubrey Choi has been content running her highly successful bakery Comfort Zone and with its first expansion taking up all of her time, dating has been the least of her priorities. Then a one-night-stand with gorgeous Korean hunk Landon Kim makes her want things she didn’t think she had time for. Too bad it turns out he’s a celebrity food critic whose scathing review of Comfort Zone goes viral and nearly destroys Aubrey’s business―and her fond memory of their night together.

Landon tries to clean up the mess he made by offering Aubrey a spot on the new celebrity cooking show he’s producing. She agrees to use this as a way to save her bakery and her reputation―no thanks to him―but vows to guard her heart. Now Aubrey and Landon find themselves sharing a villa in California wine country, which is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. For the next three weeks, baker and critic will tempt each other as they struggle to resist admitting that they have all the necessary ingredients for love.

Throwback Thursday: Dark Angel

Although, Dark Angel which premiered October 3, 2000 on Fox only stayed on for two seasons, it was a show that really stood out to me. It centered around a bleak post-apocalyptic future and starred Jessica Alba as the genetically engineered superhuman Max Guevara (with the barcode at the back of her neck registering her as X5-452).

This dystopian series which was set in Seattle followed Max as she tried to balance working at a bike delivery service, hanging out with friends and try to survive day-to-day life. While also laying low avoiding being recaptured by Manticore, the governmental group that created her and several others who had escaped when they were children.

In between doing all of that, she also wound up helping (and falling for) Logan Cale (played by Michael Weatherly) a.k.a. Eyes Only, a cyber journalist and social justice warrior who exposes corruption. They both worked to provide help to those who desperately needed it.

Max Guevara was an unlikely hero because at first she was reluctant to get involve. In the world they were living in, everyone tended to look out for themselves but she couldn't stand by and not help. Especially since she was created as the ultimate soldier.

Dark Angel was an interesting and unique show that's still one of my favorite shows to watch.
