Tv-series: Person of Interest

Husband and I are always on the look-out for great tv-shows. In the past years we have been watching

• Lost
• 24
• Fringe
• Breaking Bad
• Dexter

Last year we discovered Person of Interest. (Yes we love J.J. Adams shows!)

A software genius and an ex-CIA operative work together to prevent violent crimes before they can happen. source imdb.com

Currently we are watching the second season. And believe me it is not as sci-fi as it sounds.

The show plays in New York. Click here to see my NY reviews

Since we recently went there we now find ourselves shouting at the TV (been there, o yeah remember there you where almost hit by a yellow cab and so on and so on)

Not embarrassing at all ;-)

What is your favorite J.J Adams show?

New York: NY Public Library

In New York I wanted to visit the NY Public Library.

Striking a pose with my Strand Bookstore Tote ;-)

We were in luck, because when we walked in to this beautiful building the last tour of the day was about to start.
A really nice and funny lady (sorry, having a senior citizen moment here when she forgot to mention something) was our tourguide.

Marble everywhere!

Main reading room

She told us about the building, the special rooms in the Library, the unique books they have and lots, lots more. Did you know sometimes writers rent an entire apartment within the NY Public Library? They can eat, sleep and write all in the same place! Sounds awesome, unfortunately only accesible for published writers.
Well, you'll never know, maybe one day ;-)

I loved every minute of being in this iconic building. If you are ever in New York and like, lover or adore books don't forget to visit!

Book review: One Day by David Nicholls

A great book to read on vacation on a sunny beach (sipping away cocktails is optional ;-)

One Day by David Nicholls

Dexter and Emma spend the night together following their graduation in 1988. They talk about how they will be once they are 40. While they do not become romantically involved completely, this is the beginning of their friendship. The novel visits their lives and their relationship on July 15 in successive years in each chapter for 20 years. source: wikipedia

The format of this book makes it very interesting to read. You get older with them and it feels like you really, really know them. I've laughed out loud (which startled my sleeping husband), cried and got really angry at Dexter while I was reading this book.

It is funny, sad at times but above all it is a great must-read love story.

Fact:

• 435 pages 
• read in English
• One Day (the movie) was released in 2011. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess
• On Spotify you can find Emma Morley's Mix Tape. In the book she makes a mix tape cassette for Dexter in 1989 and 2000.

edit: I watched the movie, o my! You will need a lot of tissues
