Earlier today, I posted the first part of my 2013 Year in Review. Now it's time for Part 2: taking a look at all of my recommendations from throughout the year, including some additional recommendations that I didn't review but still want to mention. I've ranked them as best I could, though when I'm including things from all different areas (movies, TV shows, books, etc), it's not always easy to determine which is better, if a particular movie is better than a certain book, for example. But here it is:
2013 Recommendations:
1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
2. Game of Thrones Season 2
3. Game of Thrones Season 1
4. Breaking Bad Season 1
5. The Avengers

*I rarely talk about music on this blog, which I'm thinking should change. This doesn't mean I'll be doing a bunch of music reviews now, but I'm going to try and keep a better track of the albums I listen to throughout the year so I can mention them in my Year-End posts.
Top Film: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Top TV Show: Game of Thrones
Top Book: Inferno by Dan Brown
Top Album: Kelly Clarkson's Wrapped in Red
Top Podcast: Game of Owns
Top (& Only) Audiobook: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Well, now that I'm done with my 2013 Year in Review content, it's time to look at what's to come in 2014 and what I'm anticipating and looking forward to the most in the coming year. Stay tuned for that to be up soon.
Welcome to my blog! I've been an entertainment news writer and editor for various websites, where I report the news and give my opinions on shows like 'American Idol' and more.
