I prefer to think that police officers are neither callous nor stupid; they perform such an important public service after all. Similarly, I would like to think that most reporters are searching for the truth and not to sell a story; they play such a big role when it comes to us understanding our reality… Read More Book Review: ‘Beyond Suspicion’ by Catherine A.

I have been working on a short story collection with, amongst others, Maeve. The topic is the real meaning of heroism, so no wonder that her recent review of the Netflix documentary “Virunga” captured my attention and made the cut for this month’s Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review feature. Virunga — Nobility and heroism in the… Read More Sahar’s Reviews Presents: Maeve’s Monthly Movie Review

The inspirational alternative rock of On the Horizon, to be released next month, is TJ Doyle’s follow-up to his 2009 debut, The One True Thing. The album will sound both familiar and new in the combination of the very Neil Young-inspired vocals and the 1980s Eric Clapton and Sting-like melodies.

This really seems to be the year of reboots. Of course the one foremost on my mind is the upcoming X-Files revival (it’s not a reboot, guys!), but honorable mentions go to Twin Peaks, Full House, and most recently, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The timing of these rumours seems strategic, to say the least,… Read More My Hopes for the Purported Reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Alternative electronic pop rock trio Ships Have Sailed are releasing this month Moodswings, their new full-length album. All tracks, even the most somber ones, would find a natural place on the soundtrack of a feel-good summer blockbuster featuring wide-eyed, hopeful teenagers. And yet, the album is nuanced in that the darker sides of life are… Read More Music Review: Ships Have Sailed – ‘Moodswings’

It used to be considered tacky doing so, but never fear: the statement T-shirt has made a huge come-back in all age groups, all the more that they are the… Read More Fashion Review: Novel-T’s Literary Shirts
As we try to navigate the various influences that society is exerting on us in order to lead healthy lives as strong, spiritual, noble beings, we will no doubt come across the influences of celebrity culture, especially if we live in North America. This makes the information available in books such as Timothy Caulfield’s book,… Read More Book Review: ‘Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything? When Celebrity Culture and Science Clash’ by Timothy Caulfield
My husband and I are currently living in a lovely little area that has a wonderful library, which, as you can imagine, we have been taking fully advantage of. The benefit of using a library versus a bookstore–other than the savings!–is that older books are as clearly marked and accessible as newer books. Borna picked… Read More Borna’s Monthly Book Roundup Number 4
