Book Review: "The Amish Wife" by Gregg Olsen. Top Story - October 2026.

Though I didn't completely enjoy the first book I read by this author, I was recommended to read The Amish Wife since apparently, it was much better in terms of its writing. I can say that this is definitely the case and though I don't think I have ever heard of this case apart from in passing, the terrifying case of the murders of one man from the amish community is so well-researched here, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read it. Kindle Unlimited yet again of course - I like things cheap and cheerful, especially if I'm going to buy other books second hand in paperback form. Well, let's have a look at how Gregg Olsen walked into an amish community in Ohio and tried to investigate a murder of a woman, apparently covered up by her infamous husband.

A Different World: The evolution of the theme song. Top Story - October 2026.

A Different World: The theme song back story A Different World ran from September 24, 1987 to July 9, 1993, on NBC and aired on Thursday nights at 8:30 PM behind The Cosby Show. The groundbreaking television series followed the lives of African American students at the fictional HBCU Hillman College. One of the interesting aspects of the weekly programs was the theme song which changed several times over the series run. The music was updated but the lyrics remained the same.

When all the shelves are full. Top Story - September 2026.

What will I do when all the shelves are full? What will I do when there’s no more room on the TV cabinet? When the bookcase is at capacity, what will I do then? What about when the corner of the sideboard has no more space?

Late Fame. Top Story - September 2026.

My sister once told me that she couldn’t watch a film with Leonardo Di Caprio because his face annoyed her. She found his eyes scary and he reminded her of a school bully. I thought this frankly ridiculous. DiCaprio can act and his environmental activism should help secure a future for the planet his girlfriends will live on.

Proud to Be a Kidult. Top Story - September 2026.

Whenever an adult likes things from their childhood, such as toys and trading cards, most people would call them "childish" or that they need to "grow up". I've heard those things many times from others and I never cared about if they found my interests weird or unusual. As an autistic adult, I've always liked action figures or any toys I grew up playing. Adults in general who enjoy those things don't mean that something is wrong with them mentally. It gives them comfort and a sense of ease. We all have our vices, and no one should be shamed for them. The term kidult and the trend of kidulting isn't a new trend. The former term dates back to the 1950s when adults enjoyed shows that were geared towards children.

Book Review: "The Uncannily Strange and Brief Life of Amadeo Modigliani" by Velibor Čolić. Top Story - September 2026.

"The world is full of scoundrels" I have no idea why I picked this up in the library, maybe because it just looked interesting, I don't know. At the moment, I have to say my mental health isn't really there and, at the time of writing this in July 2026, I need something like a book on random vignettes to make me feel better a bit. I've been spending the morning reading this short piece of semi-fiction. I call it semi-fiction because I don't know enough about the protagonist to know how much of it is true. Was Amadeo Modigliani a good artist? No, not really. But that doesn't mean his story isn't interesting. He may have died destitute, swapping his paintings for food - but he had an interesting 30 or so years under his belt. However, I don't think it's a good idea to glamorise this kind of ignorance to the self, it can only end badly. Though he was through and through a true bohemian. No money, no life, nothing at all to suggest he was doing alright.

Supergirl Was Good Actually. Top Story - September 2026.

I am going to go on the record as a defender of Supergirl (2026). This may seem controversial. After all, people generally did not like Supergirl (2026) for reasons I have seen very poorly articulated, and most criticisms I’ve seen stem from the fact that it is not profitable. (I have seen one article speculating that generative AI was used for Lobo concept art, but this allegation is not confirmed.) So let me break down the parts of it I liked, and speculate in kind why I think this movie was so poorly received.

The Don of Hanna-Barbera. Top Story - September 2026.

We all know who this man is. I don't need to tell you, but I will. And it won't be a short paragraph. That's not enough. This man deserves the outright Vocal spotlight. He's done it all. Residing in Jellystone Park. Handling bad guys in the Old West. Living with the first family of the future. Snickering his way to our hearts. Being that sage father figure to so many, and of course, solving so many mysteries in the scariest of places.
