Legacy of Orïsha #1 I added this book to Mount TBR back in 2018, but it took it being nominated for Not-a-Hugo-but-the-Lodestar to get me to read it. Back then Ana...
I just don’t know how Ursula Vernon, aka T. Kingfisher, does it. Every single book/story by her I’ve read I’ve loved, and usually read far too quickly as I try to...
This is not a good film. This, in fact, is a terrible film. Do not watch it. It is a revenge film, full of murder and violence, and yet part of...
The Inheritance trilogy ; 2 I pretty much devoured this book. I just couldn’t stop reading once I started; it was awesome. It starts ten years after the events of The...

Ever since I first heard about this film I was hoping it would come to my local cinema. Frances McDormand is a wonderful actor and usually played fascinating characters. But then...
Do you remember when it was a big deal when a film came on the telly? I can remember the hype around The Fugitive, not when it was in the cinema,...
