Review: The Crew on Netflix
My boyfriend and I just recently finished our rewatch of Bojack Horseman. And for anyone who has watched it, you know that it is HEAVY. However, I definitely recommend it. Anyways, we decided to move onto something that was not heavy, in any way at all. Thank god Netflix has been releasing content like its subscribers depend on it; enter "The Crew". This show is so funny, and light; it makes you forget that it's snowing in Texas and you can't go outside without your fingers falling off. Yes, I said snow in TEXAS. The weather was in single digits the other day. We have had rolling blackouts and some places don’t have access to water. So basically, we needed something really, really light.

Top 8 Book Picks For Any February TBR (To Be Read List)
Every month avid readers across the world get together with their personal bookshelf, and game plan what amazing world to dive into first. Reading has become a personal form of therapy of mine for some time. It has allowed me to decompress after a really long day, and to channel stress into a different format. Normally I don't read this many books, and even going into last year, I was averaging only like 3 a month (if that). But now it's looking like I may be moving back to California at some point, and my goal is to hopefully not take as many books with me as I did moving here to Missouri where I currently reside.

False Gods by Graham McNeill
False Gods by Graham McNeill is book 2 in the Horus Heresy series and continued directly on from book 1 - Horus Rising. Once again I am absolutely blown away by the level of character detail maintained in this book. Despite being written by a different author, McNeill has managed to seamlessly preserve and develop the key characters from the first. Loken and the others of the Mournival are presented with some incredibly difficult situations and McNeill does a wonderful job of challenging and growing these characters as the sinister nature of the Heresy takes root.

LGBT History Month: I've watched It's A Sin - what next?
Channel 4's new hit drama It's A Sin has catapulted writer Russell T Davies back into the spotlight, along with his ridiculously talented cast. The light, warmth and humanity that pours through even this most desperately sad of stories is a testament to all of the creators involved. Perhaps because of its parallels to the current unknowability of the Covid-19 pandemic, the series (set during the early years of the AIDS outbreak in the 1980s and 90s) has been watched by over 6.5 million people in its first month of release. In terms of awareness of a disease which still affects many today, and as a chapter in an often overlooked part of queer history, the show has a distinctly British lens. This makes it a rare example in television on this side of the pond, but there are still many stories about this time period which feel forced or played out for shock value. So where to start when looking for other honest, interesting depictions of this illness?
