Book Review: "Henry VIII: King and Court" by Alison Weir (Pt. 2)
There's already a lot we know about the young prince Henry and we even have a flavour of how he grew up and was basically raised to be the most entitled brat in England. Be that as it may, he had a lot of knowledge and was actually incredibly clever when it came to scholarly studies, languages and as it happens, masonry and interior design as well. Alison Weir tells us all about the way the King decorated places like Hampton Court to show off his wealth, draping the walls with fine woven textiles and making decorative glass to depict his noble lineage. This was all part of the theatre of royalty, the propaganda that Henry VIII was so good at during the time, it almost made people forget that he had two of his wives killed and one was not even 20 years' old at the time.

Villainess Review: Aubrey Hoffman (9-1-1: Nashville)
I absolutely, positively love 9-1-1: Nashville! I loved it from the moment I saw the first promo for this months ago. The hockey fan in me can't help bu love that Nashville is the setting; yes, the original show is in an NHL city as well, but Nashville is a Central Division city. I love the cast immensely; still hard to believe that Chris O'Donnell's first appearance as Robin in Batman Forever was over 30 years ago. Of course, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, oh yeah, a hat trick of awesome actresses.

Terra Amata by J.M.G. Le Clézio
In 1967, J.M.G. Le Clézio published his novel Terra Amata as one of his earlier works. An experimental novel, it is part of this larger phase where the author was working with more surrealist fiction styles, often embracing fragmentations and existentialism as a philosophy of his work. Like a lot of his work though, it explores what it means to be human and how this works in relation to the natural world. It blurs those lines between the real and the cosmic, the existential and the absurdist and the way in which we understand ourselves is shrouded in the 'bigger picture'.

Book Review: "Henry VIII: King and Court" by Alison Weir (Pt.1)
Popular culture has perpetuated some mythologies regarding Henry VIII, Alison Weir makes it clear that she'll address these issues but probably not entertain them. One of the myths is that Henry VIII didn't wash and thus smelt bad, in fact Weir puts to us that the King was obsessed with his hygeine. He also almost never dined in the main hall with others, which challenges many notions and amateur YouTube videos that claim the King was definitely not a great dinner guest in the main dining hall. We learn that on many instances, he preferred to dine with his wife, or by himself - a King that was more introspective than we have been led to believe does not necessarily mean he was not a complete and utter sociopath.
