Now that so many of us spend all day on screens, there’s something about using a paper calendar. From bullet journalling to maintaining a wall calendar, having reminders in a physical form can make them more effective — and it’s nice to get a break from screens and pinging reminders. Daily calendars (fun fact: “Page-A-Day Calendars” is a trademarked brand) have the added bonus of being a little daily ritual. There’s a new picture/factoid/puzzle to reveal every day with a satisfying tear off of the day before. Look, the little things really add up, okay? Another advantage of page-a-day calendars…

Country music reached an inevitable crossroads in 2022.

The year’s best country music books explore all those histories and the history-making careers of the genre’s most iconic acts.From Margo Price’s unflinching memoir to an exhaustive biography of Merle Haggard, these ten books represent a wide-reaching spectrum of what country and Americana music are truly about.

Scott replies desperately, saying, “It’s me. It’s Scott.”But Allison doesn’t seem to recall him or their relationship, saying, “Scott who?” Allison’s dad (JR Bourne) then confirms the worst, telling Scott, “Whoever or whatever is out there right now, it’s not Allison.” The rest of the trailer reunites the group with their fellow monster-hunting alums, including Jackson Whittemore (Colton Haynes), Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) and Alan Deaton (Seth Gilliam), to take down the Nogitsune, which haunted the group throughout season three.

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be tackling Mick Garris and Stephen King’s unfairly maligned Sleepwalkers! For every successful Stephen King adaptation, there are usually a handful of lesser projects lurking in its shadow. From Dreamcatcher to Lawnmower Man, the King of Horror actually has quite a few box-office bombs under his belt, with some fans justifying this by claiming that adaptations miss out on crucial inner monologues and emotional subtext. However, there is one Stephen King project that suggests that there might be more to the middling reception of some of these movies than the adaptational process.…
