Also, I want to share with all of you two great shows I saw yesterday!

Eastwick (Airs Wednesdays at 10:00 pm on ABC):

Plot: Have you ever discovered a wealth of inner power that you never knew you had, and it could change the world as you knew it if unleashed? Yeah, neither have we. Eastwick, based on John Updike’s best-selling novel and the popular movie, offers that ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy. Joanna (Lindsay Price)—the overly shy local reporter, Kat (Jamie Ray Newman)—the swamped wife and mom, and Roxie (Rebecca Romijn)—the eccentric artist are three very different women living in the New England hamlet of Eastwick. Because of catty gossip and preconceived judgments, they didn't really like each other that much. But after a bizarre encounter at the local park and one too many martinis, this trio not only become BFFs but begin discovering some bewitching talents they never knew they had. But these three fast friends aren’t just drawing each other closer…Something wicked is coming their way, and his name is Darryl Van Horne (Paul Gross)—an irresistible combination of wealth, charisma and bad boy sex appeal that turns the town upside-down. The closer these ladies are drawn into Darryl’s wicked web, the more of their unique powers he unleashes—which we can only imagine will spell trouble with a capital T. As these enchanting women grow into their newfound talents, Eastwick will never be the same. And while that might be ill-fated for a few locals, it's still the best thing to happen to this small seaside community in centuries. I don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to get our front row seat.

Awesome witch TV Show, watch the first episode here.

Flashforward (Airs Thursdays at 8:00pm on ABC)
Plot: What if you saw your future 6 months from now? A glimpse of where you will be and who you will be with. Would you look forward to what was coming...or would you try to stop it? A mysterious global event causes everyone to black out simultaneously for two minutes and seventeen seconds, and each person sees a glimpse of their lives six months from now. When they wake up, everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen. Los Angeles FBI Agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) is desperate to uncover why this happened and who or what is behind it. And he's not the only one. Before long, everyone starts asking, "What did you see?" As Mark and his team struggle to figure out what caused this bizarre event, they begin to piece together the future by creating a huge database of people's flash forwards from all over the world - The Mosaic Collective. No one knows what these flash forwards mean or exactly what the future really holds. But it is clear that across the globe people who've never met will somehow be intimately connected and will have an impact on each other's lives in the next six months. Some will fear what's coming, others excited; but not a single person will be unaffected. Adapting award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer's revolutionary novel, executive producers David S. Goyer (co-writer of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight), Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: Enterprise), Marc Guggenheim (Brothers & Sisters, Eli Stone), Jessika Borszicky (Revelations) and producer Mark H. Ovitz (October Road) invite you to embark on a journey to answer the question, "if you knew what your future held, what would you do?"

Great action packed TV Show, watch the first episode here.

Sing me to Sleep sounds very interesting, and the cover is tons pretty.

Bri Meets Books said...

Nice haul this week! I need to read the Cirque De Freak books. You know they must be good to get a shout out from J.K. Rowling on their cover! Enjoy your books!

I loved Flashforward. I hope it doesn't too wrapped up in being an engima like Lost and lose track of its plot with all the "guess what this means!" I read an article in EW that said they wouldn't do that.

Book Butterfly (Kim) said...
