Psst! Real quick. I woke up to see this! Whee!
Anyway, on last Thursday, our house switched our satellite TV companies from Direct TV to Dish. I had very few days’ warning. (We’d wanted to go back to Dish for a while, and when the genie box in the living room went south, we decided not to spend money on getting a Direct repairmen out to fix the problem; we ordered Dish!)
Well, I tend to store of up a seasons’ worth of some of my favorite shows so that I can binge-watch them between books. I had Blacklist, Bones, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, and Supernatural saved. As soon as the Dish move date was made, I began watching my shows, in priority of what I’d regret most not seeing. I made it through Supernatural (God, I love Rowena!), Grimm (Poor Adelind!–can’t believe I’m saying that!), Blacklist (Liz can’t be dead!), but only watched the most recent episode of Bones (what’s bug-guy doing in a wheelchair?!). And that was it. Everything else I’d recorded was gone. 🙁
But the point is, it was kind of fun binge-watching my way through Sam, Dean’s, and Red’s trials and tribulations. For some of you, I imagine weekends are time for binge-reading your way through books. How may of you do that? Comment for a chance to win a free story! Your choice from among these two series…

I do binge read. I read all historical, then all shifters, then vampires, then BDSM, right now I am into Shifters.

I’m not sure I really binge read – I just read all the time. 🙂

I am actually doing that now. I had found the one free book the author offered and loved but got sidetracked. I just saw the box set on sale and bought it now I can’t put the thing down. I am in book 3 of 5. So much fun this way so I don’t have the opportunity to forget the names of minor characters that end up showing up in the next story and become important later.

I am a binger from way back. It doesn’t matter if it is books, TV/movies, or food. I just finished bingeing on Inspector Morse on Netflix (the ending made me cry.) Last week I binged on the Masters and Mercenaries series by Lexi Blake. Needed to get caught up. Food, well that goes without saying. I am about due for my annual binge of Anita Black – okay guilty pleasure there. But yes, I do binge read.

Congrats on your book being listed as #1 on the top 100 list! I am not really a binge watcher… sometimes if I have a season on DVD, but that is once in a blue moon.

I have never been a binge reader because I fall asleep if I read too long..I have to read in short periods of time and do other things in between. That’s why it takes so long for me to finish reading a novel.

Whenever I have days off I binge read. My off days can be at anytime. Sometimes during the week and sometimes weekends.

I binge read and binge tv shows. I get sucked into series and don’t want to leave

I can binge read only if I can get all the males in my life (dogs, sons, husband, father) to LEAVE ME ALONE. Guess how often that happens?? Next weekend is a Cub Scout campout, so I’m going to make a deal with the Twinagers – they leave me alone with my Kindle and I’ll leave them alone with their computer games. And then I’ll lock the dogs in the basement with them [muhahahahhaa!!!].
