What's New At G-POP.net:
The Seven Five - Melissa Miners reviews a documentary about the corruption in the 75th Precinct in 1980s Brooklyn.
Excerpt: "I was discussing my time working in Brooklyn when a friend brought up a documentary he had seen about crooked cops in the area called The Seven Five. Of course, the events discussed in the documentary took place long before I worked in the location, but I found the summary of the story to be rather interesting, so I decided to check it out..."
The Golden West - Melissa Minners reviews the latest album from Gayle Skidmore.
Excerpt: "Gayle Skidmore has been writing songs since the age of eight, amassing over 200 of thought provoking songs inspired by events in her life. Classically trained in the piano, she can also play over twenty other instruments, including the dulcimer, folk harp, banjo and balalaika. She has opened for such notable performers as Jason Mraz, Lisa Loeb, Sam Phillips and more...In the spring of 2017, Gayle Skidmore released her twentieth independent release, The Golden West..."
Hidden Figures - Melissa Minners reviews the Academy-Award film about the African American women who worked behind the scenes to help make America's race to space successful.
Excerpt: "Folks who follow G-POP.net on Facebook would know how interested in seeing Hidden Figures after viewing the trailer for the film.

Trouble in Mind - Melissa Minners reviews the third collection of short stories from Jeffery Deaver.
Excerpt: "I’m a huge Jeffery Deaver fan, especially of his Lincoln Rhyme novels, and have been reading his works for years. My shelves are stocked with his books and most of those that I don’t have in hardcover or paperback, I’ve downloaded digitally. So, when I saw a Jeffery Deaver book I hadn’t read on the bargain table at Barnes & Noble, it was a no-brainer: I had to purchase a copy of Trouble in Mind..."
Gloria - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the movie about Mexican pop star Gloria Trevi.
Excerpt: "...The soundtrack features mainly Gloria Trevi songs which vary from rock to pop, the lyrics touching on the pain of a love lost, deception, even a catchy tongue-in-cheek song about a psychiatrist.
