Recently, to take our minds off Covid-19, Demi Lovato and Sam Smith have released a new hit. It has been quickly noticed, complimented and criticised.

However I still enjoyed it thoroughly and it … Continue reading Eragon- Christopher Paolini →

It is actually a fairly dense, philosophical discussion with liberal doses of biblical references … Continue reading Twelve Principles for Life – Jordan Peterson →
