Men in Kilts: Culture and Tradition

 

"There's nothing more traditional than a well-dressed Scotsman."

 

Hello everyone!

 

We return to our regularly scheduled programming ... even if we're now one episode behind the actual release dates, but no matter!

We shall persevere and continue on through our trek across Scotland.

Our two favourite Scots returned to their journeying this weekend with a new episode, but because I took a bit of a two-week break to watch some movies and review them on here, I'm still only on episode five of the show instead of six.

Ah well!

This just means that I'll be a week late in wrapping up the reviews, but that's okay.

When it's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing.

So without further ado and more lollygagging from me, here's Men in Kilts, a very traditional episode titled - you guessed it - Culture and Tradition.

Men in Kilts: Food & Drink

 

"Scotland."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Or should I say slainte?  

 

Either way, welcome to what is bound to be a real Scottish extravaganza in terms of both learning anything and everything about Scotland - the beautiful country many of us have fallen in love with through watching Outlander - and just trying to follow along with two men on a roadtrip.

 

That's right, lads and lassies, the full title of this show includes a subtitle which I didn't include in the opening sequence, as it would just be too long.

 

But I mean, our two hosts need virtually no presentation. Both of them have made lasting impressions on the previously-mentioned time-travelling show, and now both of them have decided they needed to spend MORE time together, showing us just how giggle-inducing that can be.

 

And I'm telling you - the giggles are real.

 

So is this show though. Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham, follows the break in the text just here. Enjoy!

Tome Thursday: The Devil's Cut

Hello everyone!

It's book review time again this week, but seriously, I need to take two seconds to focus after seeing the Shadowhunters summer finale trailer.

Like, OMG.

I mean I've read the first trilogy, obviously - I'm working on the second one - but that doesn't mean that what I see Freeform putting out isn't amazing. They've taken a step beyond what Cassandra Clare's written and made it their own, and the actors look like they might have pushed all the boundaries, ever.

I can't wait for next Monday!

But, ahem.

It's time for the actual review to begin, and considering it's August, suffice to say there is no other book to talk about but J. R. Ward's Devil's Cut, the conclusion of her Bourbon Kings trilogy.

Tome Thursday: The Angels' Share

Hello everyone!

Let's take a deep breath and say what we all know is true: there are some books, and authors, that make us drop everything and anything, especially book-wise, to grab at them, and devour them in one sitting.

Hands up from everyone who feels the same way!

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of us.

For me, there are a few authors who will make me squeal with excitement and then dance around the room once I get my hand on a copy of the book in question. The top of that list has to be Tolkien, but he's sadly deceased, so I have to make do.

Among these, and right around the top, is J. R. Ward. Now, if you've been following this blog, you'll know I'm a sucker for her Black Dagger Brotherhood novels (hot vampires who kick ass? UHM YES!), and when news broke that she'd be trying her hand at a different, contemporary story, I was all for it. The Bourbon Kings certainly did not disappoint, and its sequel even less!
