    Gut-Wrenching, Heart-Warming, & Action-Packed Night – Alexandria Warwick

    Hello, my dear book lovers, Ah, do I have a juicy review for you today. The author of this book, Alexandria, kindly contacted me and asked if I could review this ARC after I had previously reviewed the first one in the series (which you can read here), and I just couldn’t say no. I…

  • The Betrayal Of A Country

    The Betrayal Of A Country

    Our country is in shambles. Being Maltese is presently not something to boast about beyond our COVID-infested shores. We are Maltese; the ones who ‘blow journalists up’, who ‘sell passports’, who ‘had most of the Police traffic department arrested’, and now, those who harbour COVID-19. The rapid deterioration of the virus’s containment is indeed a…

  • A Court of Frost and Starlight – Sarah J. Maas

    A Court of Frost and Starlight – Sarah J. Maas

    Today I will be reviewing a novella which forms part of the infamous ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ series, and one that I found did not live up to the hype of its predecessors. However, there are a few things that I would like to discuss about this book that I did enjoy, as…

  • On Accountability – Thoughts and Reflections

    Around this time last year, I wrote a short article for this blog about what I thought were the dangers of cancel culture and negative comments on artistic works. I thought it unfair and unnecessary to draw out so much negativity and bad will towards something that someone poured so much of their heart and…

    The abortion bogeyman rears its head

    What is more prevalent on the Maltese islands than the belief that abortion is morally reprehensive in any shape or form?

Scientific surveys consistently show that the vast majority of the Maltese population oppose the legalisation of abortion in…

    Thanks To The Frontliners

    “Il-ġurnalisti huma raġuni ewlenija għaliex il-Laburisti jibqgħu jiżdiedu f’Malta” Robert Musumeci, lawyer, architect and wiseman of Malta informed us a few months back. “M’għandix bżonn li inti tibgħatli l-mistoqsijiet biex niftaħ magisterial inquiry,” Ian Abdilla, head of the Economic Crimes Unit. “So when was it opened then?” asked Jacob Borg from the Times of Malta. The…

  • ‘Anġlu’

    ‘Anġlu’

    ‘Anġlu‘ – “Spirtu immortali sopra-naturali” jew “protettur tal-bnedmin”. Hekk id-dizzjunarju jiddefinixxi anġlu. F’pajjiżna kien spiċċa f’ħoġorna anġlu, anġlu li ilhom jiddu dnubietu minn qabel l-elezzjoni tal-2013. Dak iż-żmien ma konniex nafu x’qed jgħid meta rrefera għall-‘fourth floor meetings’. Illum sirna nafu aħjar il-komplott li kien qed jiġi pjanat wara bibien magħluqa. Fetaħ ħalqu u l-anġlu spiċċa mibgħut minn…
