New Music 03/2024 – Gina Birch, Lankum

Top Ten Tuesday – Book Covers with Apples
I happened to be eating an apple (a nice and juicy Jazz apple to be exact) while thinking about this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Covers/Titles with Things Found in Nature. A supermarket apple is hardly a product of nature, but hey there are wild apple trees as well!

Anatomy of a Fall – Film Review

A layered, smart and elegant psychological thriller that begins as a murder mystery, morphs into a courtroom drama, and ends up a blistering examination of a failing marriage.
