Book review: Brighton Rock

January 28, 2018January 27, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Graham Greene is one of those famous writers who’s name I nknew but who I’d never read. Even though we have at least two books of his on the shelf. When I went to see Travels with my Aunt at the Citz last year, that was the first experience of Greene’s fiction that I’d had.… Continue reading Book review: Brighton Rock

Product review: Chanel Gabrielle

January 9, 2018January 7, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

I think I was in an airport, of all places, when I first spotted that Chanel had released a new fragrance. Airport or not, I’m certain that the first thing I did was wander over to try it on. Because how could you not? FYI, Gabrielle was Coco’s real name. I’ve always been a bit… Continue reading Product review: Chanel Gabrielle

Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue

January 7, 2018January 6, 2018 In Becky's Head4 Comments

Disclaimer: It bothers me that I’m posting a review of this kind of book in January, when I know that the diet industry is at it’s most insidious and disgusting. Please don’t see this as a support of that. One of the good things about this book is that it attacks that very industry and… Continue reading Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue

Book review: Savant

December 31, 2017December 28, 2017 In Becky's Head5 Comments

This was a book that I won in a competition that was run by SciFiNow way back in February. I retweeted something and then sent me a pile of books. It was very nice of them, and a great way to pick up some titles I was pretty unlikely to select for myself without help.… Continue reading Book review: Savant

Theatre

The Nutcracker

December 27, 2017December 24, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

Back in November I became aware that Scottish Ballet were doing The Nutcracker at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. Now, The Nutcracker is one of my all time favourite ballets and I knew that P would rather eat his own eyeballs than go see it with me. I also knew that my colleagues were well… Continue reading The Nutcracker

Book review: The Loney

December 24, 2017December 23, 2017 In Becky's Head2 Comments

This was a bookclub pick by Gordon. Once he chose it, I kept seeing it popping up everywhere. I’m pretty sure half the commuters who catch the same train as me read it at some point. Do you know how hard it is to not be that person who interrupts strangers when they’re reading a… Continue reading Book review: The Loney

Book review: The Other Mrs Walker

December 17, 2017December 10, 2017 In Becky's Head2 Comments

This book club pick was one I would probably not have chosen on my own but after I read it I noticed that it kind of blew up. I saw that May Paulson-Ellis was giving talks during Book Week Scotland, It won Waterstones’ Scottish Book of the Year 2017, leading to new editions appearing in… Continue reading Book review: The Other Mrs Walker

TV series review: Hap and Leonard

December 12, 2017December 10, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

I only ever discover new TV shows because people recommend them to me. Usually, the person who recommends them is P (although, it must be said that he does so with care because he knows that if I like the show I’m going to seriously slow down the rate at which he’ll get to watch… Continue reading TV series review: Hap and Leonard

TV Series Review: Stranger Things S2

December 6, 2017December 3, 2017 In Becky's Head1 Comment

By now I am sure that everyone and their dogs has watched Stranger Things Season 2 and, as usual, I am behind. If you’ve noticed a lot of TV series reviews lately and you’re thinking that I’m watching a lot more TV than usual you’re partly right: It’s awful outside and I’m trying to save… Continue reading TV Series Review: Stranger Things S2

Book review: The Improbability of Love

December 3, 2017December 3, 2017 In Becky's Head3 Comments

I’m still an absolutely sucker for a sudden book deal on Kindle. You know those messages they send you to let you know that hundreds of books will be reduced to around £1.49? So you look and it’s mostly trash but there’s actually 5 or 6 things that might be worth reading? So you obviously… Continue reading Book review: The Improbability of Love
