I’m generally fascinated by true crime – I was a huge fan of Seriel, Making a Murderer, The Jinx and, perhaps to a slightly lesser extent, The Staircase and I’m always on the lookout for the next true crime documentary to watch. I’m also fascinated by psycopathy and Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath test is one… Continue reading TV series review: Mindhunter
I was given a bottle of this stuff for Christmas last year and I’ve been using it a few times a week since. According to the bottle, the 7 things it does in 1 go are: Heat protection Reduces split ends Detangler Leave-in hair treatment Reduces frizz & smooths Blowdry styling aid Adds shine Inconsistent… Continue reading Product review: Dr Paw Paw Does It All 7 in 1 Hair Treatment Styler
Jane Eyre is one of a handful of free classics that I downloaded when I first got my Kindle. I had the very best of intentions to actually read these worthy tomes now that I could have access to them without even having to buy a copy (or even visit a library). Optimism brought on… Continue reading Book review: Jane Eyre
One of the first books I read this year was American Gods. It was kind of an accident, I finished the paperback I was reading on a long train journey and just picked the first thing on my Kindle, which happened to be American Gods. At the time, I hadn’t yet heard that they were… Continue reading TV series review: American Gods
I can’t tell you how long this book has been sitting on my Kindle but I can tell you it has been too long. I read A Room of One’s own back in 2014 and loved it so perhaps that’s when I decided that I wanted to read more Woolf at some point. I am… Continue reading Book review: The Waves
Season 1 of Suits came out in 2011. I’m just writing that so you know that I know that I’m reviewing old TV. Thing is, I started watching it one weekend when P was away, based on a random Netflix recommendation and I was immediately hooked. I never watch more than a couple of episodes of… Continue reading TV series review: Suits S1
Have you seen the movie The Thirty-Nine Steps? Or perhaps one of the many theatre productions? I’ve not been lucky enough to see it at the theatre (yet) but I do remember seeing the Alfred Hitchcock movie a while back. Let me tell you, the book is barely like the movie at all. The Thirty-Nine… Continue reading Book review: The Thirty-Nine Steps
I feel like I’ve been following the Archer series forever. It’s one of those weird comedy cartoon series that somehow never seems to disappoint. While I’d rather scoop out my own eyes than watch Family Guy and while Southpark is genuinely starting to piss me off, Archer always gets it right (see also, Rick and… Continue reading TV series review: Archer Dreamland
Who doesn’t love a good mystery? I know I do, and yet somehow I’ve not actually read a great deal of Agatha Christie. I admit, not reading Agatha Christie when you enjoy mysteries basically borders on foolish, doesn’t it? This particularly gorgeous Folio Society edition of the Miss Marple short stories was too appealing to… Continue reading Book review: Miss Marple Short Stories
I can’t believe that it’s been four years since the first episode of Orphan Black was released. Those introductory sequences with Tatiana Maslany meeting someone who looks exactly like her were so promising that I was almost hesitant to get too into the series – I was too worried it would get cancelled. Fortunately for… Continue reading TV series review: Orphan Black S5
