A November Treat from The Final Girls Berlin

How delightful, on November 22nd a double feature is brought to us by a collaboration between Cathode Cinema and the Final Girls Berlin Film Fest to the City Kino Wedding!

I'm not going to lie, German cinema really isn't my jam at all, but these two genre pictures both orbiting around the subject of obsessions sound great actually; Die Berührte (No Mercy, No Future) (Helma Sanders-Brahams, 1981) is about a woman obsessed with religion and Jesus, seeing the latter in every man she meets and Der Fan (Eckhardt Schmidt, 1982) revolves around a young girl fangirling for the singer R (Rheingold) and that leads her into dangerous situations.

I'm really excited for this little surprise treat in the middle of November, a dark month I love to hate.

And only three days later there's another cinema event which might interest you - The Creepy Crypt at the Rollberg Kino will be showing Good Boy on Saturday, November 25, a Norwegian film that looks pretty wild, in the best sense of the word.

Happy Birthday! Protean Depravity is One Year Old!

Folks, I almost missed my blog's first birthday, which was last week! Photo by Angèle Kamp I can't believe it has been a year already - my lockdown project became a full- blown blog with lots and lots of books, books, books, author interviews and even one piece of original fiction! I really do hope that you're enjoying the blog as much as I sure do. I am so grateful and thankful for everybody who contributed and for everybody who is reading! Happy birthday to us! Let's celebrate our geekdom and hope for many more years to come!

Straightening Up the TBR and Other Exciting Things

The world keeps on turning and once again the nicer time of the year has arrived; the warm time. At least hopefully, because in this part of the world you never know - Remember last summer? And again, I have been merrily taking and taking review copies of books, and reached the point where they have accumulated to a degree that I'm about to lose track, but haven't quite yet. I am at a point where I need to straighten up the tbr pile - make a priority list so that no important book gets left out, but also make sure my personal goals, group reads, buddy reads and challenges are fulfilled too. It's not easy being a professional book worm, let me tell you.
