I was always at least a season behind on watching Grimm and I'm shocked to discover it was apparently cancelled and is over. What I should probably be watching is the final season to see how it closed out, but I almost always prefer the first season of any show so what I'm actually doing is a rewatch of season 1, which was great, and is a good October watch for me leading up to Halloween. Grimm is about as close to the horror genre as I'll watch, though I made a weird exception for The Exorcist because I kept seeing amazing gif sets of Marcus and Tomas. Another show I'm sad was cancelled.

Nick and Monroe becoming BFFs is my favorite. I just made a gif set of them being adorable and sharing beers, and dinner, and coffee. This was three consecutive episodes of the content I am here for.

I feel like season 1 had a ton of the best side characters. Quick rec: Hapless Trouble by brbsoulnomming is one of my favorites and always makes me sad that the show straight up killed off Hap. He could have been a great recurring character like Bud the eisbeiber.



I LOVE THIS SERIES. Exit Strategy magically appeared on my Kindle and I was like \o/. I pre-ordered it and forgot the release date. I hope these get released in paperback at some point. I want them to live on my bookshelf but I'm not a fan of hardbacks.

This was my favorite of the series, except maybe All Systems Red. The band is mostly back together and there is a daring rescue! Chapter 6 in particular smacked me right in the feels.

I enjoy the kind of mildly antagonistic/amused relationship Murderbot and Gurathin are developing. Also, Murderbot may get to have a documentary on the entertainment feed! I love it's love of media. I want to know the entire plot of Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon please.


And, as always, I'm reading a ton of fic. This month I'm reccing John/Rodney fics for stargateficrec which is one of my favorite comms. I feel kind of bad because I usually only rec the minimum 2 stories for a month, but it's because I'm saving up for future months! I have at least 3 this time. Every time I think I'm going to run out of fics, luckily I discover more.

Also, the Yuletide tag set is complete so people are starting to post letters and those are great fun to read and see about writing any treats from.
