The Monday Musts- Everything, Everything; Kaleo; and the Chicago Series
The Monday Musts is a new weekly meme I started and will be doing
instead of Music Monday. This way I can combine my love of music to fit
better with my book blog.
Thank you to Tonya for making me the above graphic to go with my new meme! <3
I would love for others to join me in doing The Monday Musts! I have
included a Linky at the end of my post, so please share your Monday
Musts!
It's super easy to do. What is a must read book? What album/song/artist
is a must listen? And finally what has caught your eye that is a must
see? (Can be ANYTHING. Other blogs, bookish things, pictures, etc.)
This week's MUSTS:
Must Read:
Ok, I know. I'm sure a lot of you are like, "Well DUH Jessica. Why did you wait so long to read it?"
Hype. I didn't really think I bought into hype, but apparently I do... why else would I keep pushing certain books back?
Anyway. This book was seriously everything. I adored Ollie and my heart ached for Maddy and her situation. Their friendship turned romance was so wonderfully done and I really enjoyed their communication with one another. I was able to predict what happened, but only because I had read another book that had a similar idea and it ended up being the same result. Still, it didn't ruin my reading enjoyment. I definitely rec this one!
Must Listen:
Artist: Kaleo
Song: Way Down We Go
After hearing and loving Kaleo's All the Pretty Girls single, they had a new fan instantaneously. I love their sound so much. They hail from Iceland and I am really looking forward to a full scale album soon.
I heard this song 'Way Down We Go' on the mid-season finale of Blindspot and I have had it on repeat for days!
Must See:
I absolutely adore the Chicago shows! I mainly watch P.D. and Med, but I have watched Fire and really enjoyed that one too.
Chicago Med is the newest installment of the Chicago series and I seriously binge watched all 5 episodes in one night. Grey's Anatomy? What's that? I am all kinds of about CM. I like that it's low drama right now. It really focuses more on the medical aspects and it is slowly giving you bits and pieces of the main characters' lives. I really like that.
Chicago P.D. is one I started consistently watching this year too. Erin (pictured top right) is so badass, as is Voight (the middle cop). I know there are tons of cop/detective shows on tv, but this is one that I genuinely like.
Plus, there are lots of crossovers between the three shows, which is always fun. I've seen enough of Chicago Fire to know who everyone is, so it's always a treat to see them even though I don't watch it anymore.
Chicago Med and Fire both come on NBC Tuesdays at 8 CST.
Chicago P.D. comes on NBC Wednesdays at 9 CST.

Gahh Everything Everything never really appealed to me tbh, but if you loved it so much I should probably give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, it was SO good! I loved the connection between the characters and the romance was so wonderful. I definitely recommend it!
DeleteOh I loved Everything, Everything!! Such a great book!
ReplyDeleteYes! It was such a gem! I can't believe I waited as long as I did to read it!
DeleteI haven't read Everything, Everything yet either! *shame*
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think I watched a few episodes of Chicago Med when my mama was in town - it's intense!
Oh, you should! I think you'd like it? Did you read CJ Lyons' Broken though?
DeleteAnd YES. That show is intense! And I just love the characters already!
Good luck on your Monday musts! :)

Thank you Majanka!
DeleteEverything Everything was such a buzz book at BEA and since it's not my go-to genre, I didn't really get swept away by it at the time...but now I'm thinking I should have grabbed a copy because it's become oddly appealing to me :) I'm happy you loved it so much and I now I know I MUST read it!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you do Micheline! It's so different than your typical contemporary romances, so I'm hoping you'll enjoy it, even though it's not your usual go-to!
DeleteGreat mind must think alike as I JUST bought Everything Everything on Saturday! I will also check out the Kaleo song. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYou did? YAY! I cannot wait to hear what you think of it!!!!!
DeleteChicago Fire and Chicago PD are must see tv for me and my mom. Still haven't watched Med yet but I'm planning a binge once I finish Revenge. I adore all the characters, and they really pull no punches with the storylines. I love when they crossover. So glad I have a Chicago buddy who loves them too! :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I'm so glad you watch them too! I can't wait for you to binge! You will love it! And YES! The crossovers are SO good! I love them!
DeleteI LOVE this idea! I'm going to check my blog schedule and try to do it next week. :-)
ReplyDeleteEverything Everything is on my TBR. I haven't watched any of the Chicago shows, but I have a friend who's obsessed with Chicago Fire. I'll have to check them out!

Thanks Marie! I hope you'll join us next week! I have a lot of fun doing it! Everything x2 is such an amazing read. I hope you love it once you get to it! And the Chicago shows are just so addicting! I love them!
DeleteOne of my friends is obsessed with Chicago PD! I just get all of those shows confused. :P
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about Everything Everything. Such an uplifting, romantic book!
Hahaha. I love them. They are seriously good tv. I think Med is my favorite right now.
DeleteLeave me some comment love! And I will get around to commenting back!
My blog is an award-free blog, however, as I just do not have the time to follow-up.
