Book bait and sensational series

Life feels so depressing after you've finished an excellent book or an awesome tv series. 
You almost feel lifeless, like there's nothing coherent to look forward to in terms of visual/word fixation. Something to curl up to at night, something to stick in your lap under a lamp light. 

One day you're binge watching and the next day you're scavenging your hard drive for something unseen. 

Ok, so I just finished this excellent excellent superbly awesome tv series called 'happy valley'. One of the nicest crime drama you could ever hope to watch. And I didn't just watch it, I binge watched it. Both seasons! In 4 days! Done! 

Speaking of books.. finished 'moving pictures' last night and I'm a Pratchett convert. It had me salivating to turn each page impatiently, just so I could swallow that beautiful abstract eccentricity asap. I hung on the precipice of each sentence, gob smacked, awestruck and squealing in ecstatic mirth. 

So book over, series over what to do? I don't know about series but books I've plenty enqued 

These are the five books I intend on finishing one after another. No dawdling, no excuses. Just reading. 

Today I start with Mr. Capote. How can I ever resist a true crime story? How can I ever? I'm the biggest sucker there ever is for true crime and I expect nothing short of spectacular from Truman. 

Series recommendations are feverishly welcome! The seventh episode for 'preacher' hasn't come out yet, and I intend to jam pack each day, each minute, each moment with something. I shan't spend a fraction of any day wondering what to do or getting bored or sitting idle. (Apparently that's why I was down with fever too) but hah! to that.
