This novel is a true national treasure for those in the know. Set in the early 1930s in a small town in Mississippi, the brilliant and smooth storytelling, along with the wonderful characters you’ll meet—especially little Meg and Birdie—will have you turning chapter after chapter until you’ve lost all track of time. It may be…

This was an alright but ultimately mediocre series. Apple TV+ series rarely miss, and even for those shows that are below standard, they rarely make me quit. I’m not sure how many times I’ve written that, but it always felt true to me. Bad Sisters, as a dark family comedy, gave me some chuckles from…

I’ve always had a fascination with processed food. I think many people believe it’s bad for your health but may not actually know why that is, myself included. This book on ultra-processed food can help bridge that gap, but don’t expect it to be easy reading. Science can be hard to understand, and I believe…

You see, folks, it doesn’t seem that hard, right? It’s possible to make an actual horror movie without too many shenanigans, without the need for constant jump scares and sudden loud audio bursts.

It weaves a tale among four or five different people, all with different circumstances but ties to Pakistan. I liked the novel but found it lacking and incomplete in certain areas. While I have a limited understanding of Pakistan’s…

How can any of this story be true? And yet, it is. The story of Virginia Hall likely goes down as one of the most incredible stories of a woman from the World War II era that I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about. Not only did her actions help save countless lives during…

It seems like I can always count on Ken Follett’s Kingsbridge series if I want a good story where the line between good and evil is clearly drawn. We have the guys and gals to root for and the villains who drive our blood pressure and anxiety levels to dangerous heights. The Evening and the…

This series has officially gone into full poop-stain territory. This season is like the dirty water that splashes back up your butt when you flush the toilet. The signs were there from season two onward that the series has a huge problem with simply presenting and layering problem after problem and issue after issue, with…

After a career spanning more than two decades, legendary ATL rapper T.I. has released his 12th and final album. Dubbed the King of the South, he gave us hit after hit over the years. I fondly remember hearing “24’s” for the first time and telling all my friends about it. I also remember buying that…
