Rachel Reviews: To review or not to review? . Top Story - November 2023.
It's been a strange week for this writer for many reasons, most of them requiring me to draw on emotional reserves that, for the most part, remain slumbering deep in my inner recesses, never needed in the charmed life I lead.

Rachel Reviews: The Cows [Don't Follow The Herd] by Dawn O'Porter
The Cows is a book that surprises. Dawn O'Porter takes our perception of what women should be in terms of traditional views and messes with it, presenting us with a truer, more 21st century vision. I found it challenging in terms of its direction and what it highlights, not its content, and darkly humorous.

He loved working for her as she was a woman of principle, strong and resolute. But he couldn't help but think of her as a tree in a storm - only the ones who bend survive: the ones with the thickest trunks that are unable to respond to the bullying shove of the wind will not live to fight another day.

Fight Night - WWE comes to Wembley!
I went to watch WWE Live on Sunday night. It's not a normal night out for me by any means. My evening of choice would probably be something involving some live music or a play, maybe some comedy or at a stretch, a musical. I have been known to enjoy opera, jazz, the odd classical quartet or just a bog standard pub quiz.

This is for Paul Stewart's Unnerve, Unsettle, and Scare Me Challenge which you can read more about here: Here's my effort. Hope you like it, Paul but more than that, anyone else who reads this 744 word attempt to chill the very bones of a very sturdy Scot.
