monthly roundup: may 2013

Not a lot of commentary this month as I'm currently spending my days in the British Library Newspaper Archives in London. On the plus side, there's a little more music in the monthly mix today! The news in brief: book of the month = Paper Aeroplanes, movie of the month = Fast & Furious 5.
