If you look people up on Goodreads.com, you can peruse what they've been reading. One of my recent favorites is Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand. Also the Mitford series by Jan Karon (At Home in Mitford is the first).
My kids are big into the Marvel comics films, so we've enjoyed the Iron Man films, The Avengers, Captain America, etc. They have a lot of classic English love stories on Netflix: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Wives and Daughters, Emma, North and South (the British one based on the book by Elizabeth Gaskell, not the one based in America. The book was great as well). I don't watch or read many mysteries, but we have watched many TV shows that are based on Mysteries: Castle, Chuck, White Collar. They have those on Netflix as well, possibly on Hulu too. Barbara H.
