The Enchanted Telescope
Once upon a time in a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, lived a young boy named Oliver. Oliver had always been intrigued by the stars, the moon, and the mysteries of the universe. Every night, he would lay on the grass in his backyard, gazing at the vast expanse of the sky with wonder in his eyes.

Game of Thrones Final Season a Game of Throes. Top Story - August 2023.
For seven seasons, nine families fought for dominion over the fictional Westeros in Game of Thrones. Some fought with magnificent purpose, others with unfathomable malice. In the series' eighth and final season, without consulting the master creator George R.R. Martin, malicious screenwriter's metamorphic bromides made it a Game of Throes.

ACOTAR
Centuries-old High Fae Lords falling in love with a 19yr old human who all swear like their "cool high schoolers." Abusive relationships, but Rhysand's actions get conveniently explained away while Tamlin is unfairly villainized.

A Farewell to Arms and A Book to Throw
A Farewell to Arms is an iconic piece, often on many top ten charts of classics. Hemingway’s prose is excellent, and the majority of the book is exquisite. His ending reminds us all that life is not fair. Even worse, the ending ruins an enduring book that is otherwise marvelous.

A Man Called Ove. Runner-Up in Critique Challenge.
Old man. Grump. Bloody youngens these days. Society is doomed. This bloody cat again. Why can’t everyone just leave me alone? Can I just die in peace already? This food is pretty good. Cat’s alright too, I guess. Suppose I have to save the neighbourhood myself. Life ain’t so bad.

Sleeping Beauties by Owen and Stephen King
I used to be a major Stephen King fan, but this book destroyed any enjoyment his work gave me. It is dull and drawn out way too long for no more of a plot than it has. Plus, the actions of the people are unbelievable. I don’t recommend this book.

2024 Snow White
Not out yet, but let’s talk! Andrew Burnap’s character will not be a prince. No prince? Couldn’t Disney at least put one that helps grow Snow White as a character? What about someone they expect her to marry but chooses different like Beauty and the Beast? How will this go?

Jurassic Park. Top Story - August 2023.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. This is a lesson that scientists always seem to learn the hard way in books and on film. Just ask Dr. Frankenstein.

Crime and Punishment
Dostoyevsky dissects the Russian soul's darkest sides: desperation, violence, late remorse. Doom and gloom. Even Sonya, one tiny ray of light in complete darkness, gets punished for love.

Dracula
Genre-defining epistolary gothic novel that has been grossly misunderstood and bastardised repeatedly through various terrible to subpar to okay film and TV adaptions. It is not a romance novel; it is a horror novel about a greedy, bloodlust-driven monstrous vampire who is unapologetically evil. Avoid the films, read the book.
