Is it just me?

All I heard was wonderful reviews about the book Water for Elephants. I went on the library website, put it on hold, and picked it up as soon as I could. I just finished reading it and I thought it was just okay. It was very disturbing to read about how they treated the circus animals. I guess it is just not the type of book I am used to reading - I love mysteries and chick lit! I just can't say it was absolutely wonderful. Now I have seen the poster for the movie and I am curious to see how well it follows the book.  What did you think of the book? Did you like it? Is it just me that thinks it was just okay?

I am addicted to...

I am addicted to my tivo! It is such a great invention! I make a date with tivo to watch these must see shows - 1.CSI: Miami
2. NCIS
3. Law and Order SVU
4. Criminal Minds
5. Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior
6. Grey's Anatomy
7. The Office
8. Private Practice
9. Desperate Housewives

Now I am also a fan of reality shows. I love Kendra, The Kardashians, Jersey Shore, and So you think you can dance.
Shows that I despise - American idol, Survivor

I will admit that I have never seen one single episode of The Real Housewives of any city or Gossip girl. Maybe one day when I am not working 3 jobs.
What are your favorites? Am I missing any other good shows?
