Sunday Seven: Cairo Edition

Welcome to another weekly debrief. During a sweltering week in the UK I managed to knock off some things on my to read/watch list. But then I went on a weekend trip to Brighton and didn’t get around to posting this. So, two days late, here we go: AUDIO: I started and finished Carmilla by

Friday Five: Covid Diaries

Welcome to another weekly roundup. I’m back after a brief hiatus stemming from me catching the Spicy Cough. There was some quiet time during the hiatus, so there’s not going to be three weeks’ worth. AUDIO: Lots of people recommended The Last Sun by K.D. Edwards, an urban fantasy. Unfortunately, it isn’t for me. There

Friday Five: Midsummer Edition

Welcome to another weekly roundup. The summer solstice has come and gone in the UK, much like the summer sunshine. Who needs more than three weeks of warmth? Enough about the weather, on to my list from this week: TV: Episode 2 of Loki took advantage of a lot of the setup in Episode 1.

Sunday Seven: Seven Shadowed Suns in Scotland

After another unscheduled absence, the weekly debrief is back (and also late). Here’s a run down on my last two weeks: TV: I’ve heard good things about Ted Lasso, and since my new iPad came with a year’s subscription for Apple+ I thought I would give it a try. For those unaware, it’s a show

Friday Five: Deaths, Drowning, and the Deep

Welcome to another weekly round-up. Yet again I find myself finishing another week without posting a review. What a shambles. BUT, I have next week off, so let’s see if I can get some reading/reviewing done. Now, on to what I read this past week: AUDIO: After finishing off Dogs of War I thought I

Friday Five: The Return

I’m back. Apologies for the week off. Now I have the unenviable task of trying to remember what I did last week (other than work). And no, I will not be doing ten things this week. Here we go: TV: This week I’ve been binging New Girl. I watched the first couple of seasons when

Friday Five: Shrimp Boil Edition

Welcome to another Friday Five. TV: Despite last week’s blog, I did not finish Shadow & Bone. The Crows continue to be as charismatic as dishwater to me, despite me loving Six of Crows (especially Inej). I find myself preferring Alina’s story line, despite it being more of a standard epic fantasy story. COMICS: I

Friday Five: Ceviche Edition

Hello hello,Another week, another Friday off of work. Monday off too. This is the dream. Despite only working three days this week, I don’t have too much to show for it. But, here we go: TV: As anticipated, I finished off The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and tried out Shadow & Bone. FAWS: My

SATURDAY SIX: Beers in the Sun

Hello hello, Welcome to another weekly debrief. I’ve finished a book and a couple of short stories, but not a huge update this week. However, because this is late, I’ve include a bonus sixth point. Enjoy! DEAD TREE: Early in the week, I finished off The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk. This was a great

Friday Five: Ramen Edition

Welcome all, Another highlights version this week. Without further ado: AUDIO: I continued to churn my way through Swordheart by T. Kingfisher. I stayed up late one night listening to it. Big fan. 4.5 stars. Very funny. Very sweet. The ending dragged a bit, with almost two endings. But that didn’t affect how much I
