"Songs At the River’s Edge" by Katy Gardner offers some accurate observations of Bangladesh, but for me it felt distant and disconnected, missing the warmth and depth of the country and relying too much on familiar stereotypes. Full review: writeoutloudblog.com/2016/01/01/boo…

This week’s Wednesday Banker uses dark humour around Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize and the growing danger of a world that treats reckless power as a joke.

Sometimes Mondays feel miserable, but if you showed up, did your best, and made some progress, even if it wasn’t what you hoped for, you did enough and deserve to acknowledge that. This week’s Monday Murmurings: kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/01/26/mon…

Reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz left me surprisingly disappointed. The writing feels rushed, and too often every chapter slips into badly written guff or morally questionable material, making modern retellings like Wicked feel far richer by comparison. writeoutloudblog.com/2026/01/25/boo…

This week’s Wednesday Banker portrays today’s political chaos as a grotesque banquet, where Trump-era spectacle, weak leadership, and global power games entertain observers while real lives are lost and societies drift dangerously towards authoritarianism. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/01/28/wed…

This week’s Monday Murmurings shows how different life is when the people you work with are actually nice and how one toxic “mood hoover” can darken an entire office or school. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/02/02/mon…

This week's Wednesday Banker digs into the ‘magic of money’: Epstein’s new files expose how wealth and influence shield the powerful. Mandelson in trouble, Royals skirting justice, and money still buys love & impunity. Time for real accountability. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/02/04/wed…

This week’s Monday Murmurings reminds us that the “monsters” we fear aren’t new or rare. They’re human. The real challenge isn’t spotting them but choosing every day to be kinder, steadier, and better. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/mon…

The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes offers a gentle, comforting picture of Christ’s care for the weak, full of warmth and historical insight. The later chapters feel more rigid and dated, but the early parts are still thoughtful and worth reading. writeoutloudblog.com/2015/12/04/boo…

This week’s Wednesday Banker highlights how political accountability has become backward, punishing the peripheral while the powerful slip away untouched. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/wed…

I am not a huge fan of zombie apocalypse movies, but “28 Years Later” proves they can be smart and character-driven, not just about gore. It is tense and thoughtful, with great performances that really drew me in. Had me hooked and eager for the next film. writeoutloudblog.com/2026/02/12/fil…

After my son got a speeding fine, I discovered a camera issuing an unusually high number of tickets and a system with no clear way to appeal, leaving me stuck in a frustrating process that seems designed to wear people down rather than deliver fairness. kenthinksaloud.wordpress.com/2026/02/16/mon…

I had mixed feelings about The Memory Book by Rowan Coleman, but its honest portrayal of early Alzheimer’s and its quietly heartbreaking ending stayed with me. Imperfect, yet deeply moving. writeoutloudblog.com/2015/11/27/boo…
