Daredevil
My love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe knows no bounds, and this series is excellent. It follows Matt Murdock, attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded by an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses as Daredevil, fighting crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. His efforts are not welcomed by powerful businessman Wilson Fisk -- AKA Kingpin -- and others whose interests collide with Daredevil's. Though Murdock's day job suggests a man who believes in the criminal justice system, his alter ego proves otherwise, as he takes the law into his own hands to protect his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and the surrounding city.
Both Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on
Netflix.

Go Plant-Based for Thanksgiving
While it may not be your idea of 'traditional', it's well recognized that a plant-based diet has the least environmental impact.
In fact, the United Nations believes that a global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, poverty and the worst impacts of climate change.
While turkey is by no means the worst meat in terms of its carbon footprint, two 3.5oz servings is the equivalent of driving six miles in your car. On the other hand, one cup of broccoli is responsible for only about half a mile of driving.
Think it won't be the same without the meat? Think again!

JANE STEELE by Lyndsay Faye
Quite frankly I am a bit tired of reading non-fiction at the moment, and this book brings such delight during this trying election season. If you loved
Jane Eyre, this is for you!
"Like the heroine of the novel she adores, Jane Steele suffers cruelly at the hands of her aunt and schoolmaster. And like Jane Eyre, they call her wicked - but in her case, she fears the accusation is true. When she flees, she leaves behind the corpses of her tormentors.
A fugitive navigating London's underbelly, Jane rights wrongs on behalf of the have-nots whilst avoiding the noose. Until an advertisement catches her eye. Her aunt has died and the new master at Highgate House, Mr Thornfield, seeks a governess. Anxious to know if she is Highgate's true heir, Jane takes the position and is soon caught up in the household's strange spell. When she falls in love with the mysterious Charles Thornfield, she faces a terrible dilemma: can she possess him - body, soul and secrets - and what if he discovers her murderous past?"
