Book Review: Heads in Beds – A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality by Jacob Tomsky
Well, it is officially time to eschew the notion that your life must be interesting in some way to write a memoir. If Jacob Tomsky can do it, then anyone can do it. But I hope your attempt turns out to be more stimulating than Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and […]

One can’t really praise nor criticize Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky without sounding redundant from everyone else. I wasn’t the biggest fan of his when his first mixtape Live.Love.A$AP when it came out a couple of years ago – mainly because I wasn’t a fan of the cloud rap type of production. But in the time […]

I know that sounds awful, especially since the band has put out twelve albums […]

For all the hype Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn, was getting, I was expecting it to be the mystery/thriller of the year for 2012 (as many blogs, publications, lists, etc. claimed). Sure, it was gripping and held my attention, but by the end all evaluations of how good or bad the book was were replaced […]
