Stick 'em up. Top Story - September 2023.
Connor trembled. Until this very moment, he’d never considered the difficulty of staying perfectly still. As he stared down the barrel of the gun it became abundantly apparent. His hands shook as he fought the urge to wipe away the sweat stinging his eyes.

The Game Changer
A book that changed me? Hmm... How far back can I remember, exactly? Every time I think of an influential novel in my history of being an avid reader, I remember an earlier one that I assume has had more of an impact, mostly because something, or quite rightly someone, that I had the good grace of being gifted as a child, sparked a beautifully endless stream of events that have carried me over the course of my life.

A Critique of The Ex
Visually appealing, however, the content swiftly proves mediocre at best. Accommodating a substantial lack of originality, with predictable plot twists, awful character development, and a final act that will leave even the most easily pleased with a sour taste in their mouths. A complete unadulterated disappointment. Avoid at all costs.

A simpler challenge, causing many to pen a quick entry. I’ve observed funny, detailed, and clever entries flood in; watching in awe as people announce they're submitting twenty, thirty, or even fifty submissions! I refuse to jump on the bandwagon... I shall not... I will not... ah f*ck it, - post.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A nineties cult classic that has grown old gracefully, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still reigns as one of television’s most influential feminist turning points. Its moral compass and deep-rooted coming-of-age character development remain unchallenged, even amongst the vampires, daemons, and forces of darkness. Into every generation, a masterpiece is born.

The Bible
A concoction of short stories, thrown together to convince entire generations of the impossible and implausible. Abused, to justify the suppression of minorities and throw shame on the innocent, it remains a leading world power despite unimaginable suffering, world hunger and war. Yet they still pray. I remain dumbfounded.

The Famous Five
Stories full of mystery and adventure written for the young and old alike. With high tales of courage and friendship, this series sparked my lifelong love for reading when I was but a child. Enid Blyton graced many a long, lonesome night with her ability to awaken my youthful imagination.
