The fifth book in the Matthew Shardlake series by C.J. Sansom, and it’s one of the best so far. It is likely one of the longest books in the series so far, if memory serves me correctly. In truly spectacular fashion, the author seems to have drawn me into Tudor London yet again. I believe…

If anything, watching this movie makes me want to play the video game that much more. I rarely get myself too excited for movies based on video games, let alone one I haven’t played yet. Surprisingly, Until Dawn is very serviceable. I had just finished watching Triangle, another time loop movie and so I figured…

In celebration of the New York Knicks’ historic 2026 NBA championship, in which they finally ended a 53-year drought, the song highlighted here will no doubt be played on endless repeat until things finally calm down. During the beef between hip-hop legends 50 Cent and Ja Rule, the latter got together a few emcees on…

Whelp, this season was a complete waste of time. I mean, what were they thinking? There’s hardly anything inspiring here, and it is highly fortunate that this series only consists of six episodes. The first season of The Terror set the benchmark. It was highly enjoyable, with the tense atmosphere and psychological horror suspense. I…

Time loop movies are fun—very fun. Not only do they make you think about what’s going on, but the possibilities are exciting to watch. It feels kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure game, but one where you get to cheat. The movie Triangle was suggested out of nowhere by a Reddit user who claimed it to…

I’ve read a couple of investigative journalism novels by Erik Larson, and they were mostly enjoyable. The Devil in the White City, while still enjoyable, warrants a strong caution for any readers thinking this will be yet another typical true crime thriller in which either the hunt for or the life of the criminal dominates…

Well, this was another one that got a lot of hype. I was quite surprised to see that Adam Scott got to star in this one. I’ve been having a blast binge-watching the Parks and Recreation sitcom, and Adam’s character, Ben Wyatt, made the show that much more fun. He obviously got a big boost…

Chalk this one up as another must-read novel for fans of nonfiction true crime and investigative journalism. It’s an incredible story about a serial killer in Italy that began in the late 1960s and has yet to be identified to this day—and likely never will be. In this book, a local crime reporter teams up…

I’ll be honest. If I were to one day meet a sudden, mysterious, and untimely death, I’d likely want this author to investigate and write a book about it. Say Nothing was a great read and introduced me to him. I saw London Falling as one of his newest books to come out, read a…

Fans of CJ Sansom’s Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series will likely feel right at home here with John Pilkington’s Bishopsgate Ward series. The first of three, Death of a Stranger, introduces us to constable Matthew Cutler. Set in around 1594, it’s right after the London plague, and things are only starting to resemble a normal…
