Watching movies and drama shows

Q: I would like to ask if it is permissible to watch dramas like Yunus Emre or Kurlus Osman or any other Turkish dramas which are not inappropriate during the time when I have menses or any other free time. If not, are there any other halal ways of entertainment other then spending time with family?

Islamic books to read

Q: I love reading, listening and learning about Islamic history. I love all the Prophet's stories, and stories about the Sahaabah. And also general Islamic history too. 

I’ve read Seerat ul Mustafa and now I’d like to read some other books that are authentic and I trust this site. What books would you recommend for me for stories and history? 

The other books I read or have read are Final Moments of the Past, Bahishti Zewar, Hayatul Muslimeen, Fazail Amal, Fazail Sadaqah.

Good actions of a woman who travels without a mahram being affected

Q: There is a hadith about women travelling, Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, 

"It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the last day to make a journey of one day and night unless she is accompanied by a mahram (husband or male relative whom she is prohibited to marry)." (Al Bukhari and Muslim) 

According to the hadith, if a woman travels alone will her prayers not be accepted?
