"And books, well, The Little Prince comes to mind. Because that was my first performance ever. I performed the Little Prince in Suffolk Cathedral when I was 17. It was my first time onstage."

Rolling Stone's 186th greatest album of all time
Good soulful funk-rock album, much better than I had expected based on their earlier disco work (Dance to the Music etc). Well worth another listen.

Rolling Stone's 273rd greatest album of all time (412th in the 2020 list)
Good soul album, includes some well-known (or otherwise covered) songs. Slightly disappointed some of their biggest hits weren't included here.

Really good homage to the horror films of the 80s with an interesting premise. The group of friends has really good chemistry and the banter is there as well making for a solid movie.

As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment
  
This is a compelling story of miners who were trapped underground. In [Last Man Out] [Melissa Fay Greene] does an excellent job of capturing the emotions of those trapped as well as the families above ground. She also connects the political and economic climate of the time by telling the story of how these Canadian miners ended up connected to Georgia's fight for tourist dollars and caught experiencing segregation first hand. This is an emotional and well told story on many levels.

I love the way Hancock writes and how well developed her characters are but this installment in the MidKnight Blue series seemed to lack the usual drive. All the amazing characters were there and I understand they are in flux. Just this book seemed more like an interlude than a truely developed story. Doesn't make it a bad book by any means just the plot was not as well driven as Hancock's other books although the chracters were still amazing.
