Book Review – God of Fury by Rina Kent

January 20, 2026January 28, 2026admin

In search of something to read that would rival Song of Achilles, I went with the internet’s recommendation of Rina Kent’s novel, God of Fury. Apparently it’s one of many in her “God’s of” series, but this featured a more stand alone couple that would not require any previous interactions with the series.

LNGSHOT – Shot Callers / 4SHOBOIZ MIXTAPE, Album Reviews

January 19, 2026January 26, 2026admin

I will admit that I have no clue how LNGSHOT popped onto my radar. They are a new K-Pop group coming out of a new company formed by Jay Park, who I really only know by name.

Weekend Movie Review

While I didn’t manage to accomplish anything outrageous this past weekend, I did watch my usual standard amount. I’m anticipating a busy last two weekends of the month with virtual Sundance approaching!

2026 Golden Globes

Ahh, new year, new award’s season! I know the Emmys technically kicked it off in the fall, but the Golden Globes signify the road to the Oscars, and that’s exciting stuff!

New Year, New Movie Review

January 12, 2026January 13, 2026admin

With so many ‘best of’ lists in the pipeline, I figured I’d put some space between them and the first full movie review I do for the year. So that means you get two weekend’s worth of recommendations!

Book Review: You’re Going to Die Alone (& Other Excellent News) by Devrie Byrnn Donalson

January 11, 2026January 20, 2026admin

A few weeks ago my cousin sent me a text telling me she was sending me a book and to not take the title offensively. Seeing that it was called You’re Going to Die Alone (& Other Excellent News) when I unwrapped it certainly made me laugh and I can understand her text more. Well, not offended. If anything, me and Devrie are alike in many, many ways.

Bad Suns – Accelerator, Album Review

January 11, 2026January 16, 2026admin

With K-Pop dominating my life, and I don’t see that it will ever stop, it means I was really slow to the punch on new music from other artists I’ve loved for such a long time. Take, for example, Bad Suns. You’d think after seeing them for the first time in years would have propelled me to listen to their new album, Accelerator, as soon as it dropped. Nope. But better late than never, I suppose.
