Amelia Foster, A&E Editor
November 8, 2018
Looking at the miles and miles of traffic-jammed cars leading to Raymond James Stadium, I was seriously considering whether this Ed Sheeran concert would be worth the wait. It was a hot and humid Wednesday night, I had a lot of homework and I hadn't listened to his music since the seventh grade. Despite...

Spoken by legendary artist Tupac Shakur, THUG LIFE stands for "The hate you give little infants f**** everyone."

Even as a huge history nerd I have to admit that historical novels aren't always an easy sell. So much of historical fiction for young adults is dull, poorly-researched or used by writers as an excuse to write exclusively about straight white men. But Mackenzi Lee's new book, The Lady's Guide to Pet...

Friday night on the lawn at the Mid Florida Amphitheater, the audience was captivated by Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum.

Ready Player One has it all: an entertaining plot, fast-paced action scenes, romance, dominant female leads, and a plethora of pop culture references stemming from classic videos games (of course) to 80's movies. Ready Player One is set not too far into the future, in the year 2045, where the majorit...

Tess of the Road promises many things-- adventure, dragons, and more from Rachel Hartman, the author of the critically-acclaimed, bestselling Seraphina duology. It delivers on all of these, but not necessarily in the way that readers would expect it to. Tess of the Road is completely different from any young...
