Ten Writers I Need to Recommend. Top Story - September 2023.
I seem to have stirred a pot a little too hard for some of you. In a previous piece entitled “Ten Writers I Can No Longer Read,” I listed the names of authors that I now avoid, with some fair reasons for my choices (I even included a list of other runners-up that could have made the list longer).

"The Quantum Paradox"
"The Quantum Conundrum" is a new science fiction film that I had the joy (or maybe disappointment) of watching in the Nerds people group. This film was one of the most polarizing encounters I've had in quite a while, making it hard to classify it as either awesome or most terrible film. All things considered, it falls some in the middle between.

Addressing Ghana's Open Urination Issue. Content Warning.
In the bustling streets of Ghana, it has become an all too familiar sight - walls adorned with the simple yet stern warning, "Do Not Urinate Here." This graffiti is ubiquitous, spreading its message across cities, towns, and villages in various colors and styles, some even etched in charcoal. It's a message that attempts to deter a growing cultural norm in Ghana – open urination.

The Youngest Prince
Even though I was running from my attackers in the dark, desolate forest, I couldn't resist the allure of a half-opened door. I found this a mystery; I didn't expect this. I think that's just how magic works - there's always an element of the unknown. My resilience fueled my desire to explore what lay beyond. I left the door open as a sign when I entered, but it closed on its own, so there was no turning back.

Three Books That Made Me Who I Am
Its safe to say that throughout my life I have acquired a fair amount of books. Having just done a very quick count, I currently have 201 books gracing my shelves, I daren’t count the books currently sat in a bag ready to be donated. A lot of these I have read, others are still sat waiting for me to discover their story.
