Top Ten TV shows to Watch if You Like Magic and Fantasy

10) The Hunger Games - I liked this series a lot because of the suspense and different things that happen, however the message about killing other people to stay alive isn't a great idea for me.

9) Legend of Korra - This is a good spin off to Avatar and has a lot of ideas built up on it after Avatar ends, however it gets a little repetitive and boring near the end.

8) Flash - I really like this show because it is about many superhuman and family kind of mixed together but  by the fourth season, every episode starts to have the same summary.

7) Harry potter - This is an amazing show with a ton of fans and I am happy to be one of them. I dont have any complaints about these movies but there are shows that I tend to enjoy more.

6) TMNT - I love this show because it comes in so many varieties and so many different stories, but it is mainly about family sticking together through it all with a little ninja action as well.

5) Avatar - This is a really good show that is so interesting with a lot of twists and turns and a fun story line so I have no complaints.

4) Lord of the Rings - These 3 movies are a really nice plot packed into 3 separate movies. They have a lot of action and a lot of suspense.

3) Teen Wolf - A lot of people don't like this series but I think it is so cool and a really nice story that just keeps going and its not repetitive and is different from a lot of other shows

2) Merlin  - Merlin is an amazing spin off of the original Merlin movies and stories about how Merlin is young and learning to use his magic with the help of a mentor friend and its just a really good series with a bunch of different stories in it.

1) Supernatural! - I love this show because it is so long and with so many different episodes so you never get bored and it doesn't get that repetitive and it just has new storyline every season and it just gets better and it ended this year at 15 seasons!

Why One of the Best Pets are Leopard Geckos

If you are looking for a pet I recommended a Leopard Gecko. Mine is sitting with me right now and is really cute. They are calm and on the smaller side so you don't need a lot of space for them. They are also really cute and fun to play with. They come in different colors however you may have seen them in white, yellow, and black. Mine happens to be brown because he is a different kind but no matter what they are all amazing. They need a 10 gallon tank with a heat lamp that needs to be on during the day and off at night and a heating pad that needs to go under their tank on the bottom. Inside the tank they need sand and objects to hide in. They are nocturnal so they sleep during the day but its nice to play with them a little bit during the day. They need at least 6 crickets every day and you do not need to spray or mist them because they are desert animals. Now you know some information about Leopard Geckos as pets. However!! This is not the only information you need to have a pet, make sure to do your own research and ask questions from people at pet stores before you go and buy a pet.
