Let's talk about After.
To teenager me, After was my favorite story on Wattpad, but the adult me despises it. I don't recommend anyone young to read it. You have to be careful. Otherwise, you might be indoctrinated into believing that any type of domestic abuse is tolerable. You shouldn't have to change anyone.

The Barbie Movie
What does it mean to be a woman? Is it a blessing? A curse? Does it give you power? An oppressive weight. A purposive gift.

Shallow Grave (1995)
Danny Boyle's debut film, starring Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, Kerry Fox and Keith Allen, raises a morale dilemma. What would you do if you found a suitcase with £1m alongside your dead lodger. I'm guessing it wouldn't be to cut him up and bury him, then fight with each other.

The Power by: Rhonda Byrne
It took a while for me to read it. It did not held my interest. A lot of quotes from famous philosophers, writers, religious leaders, Nobel Prized Winners and Politicians. Power comes from staying positive, love and staying away from negativity that penetrate your positive force field.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
J.K. Rowling's "Sorcerer's Stone" is a wizarding wonderland. Its charm lies in the fusion of magic and relatability. Yet, it's not without warts. Critics argue its plot relies on clichés, yet its success is enchanting. It sparks lifelong love for fantasy but also teaches that even underdog wizards can conquer.

Common Sense by Thomas Paine
The outcry against a King, whom should not be held in higher regard than any other human. Independence then was common sense, as what was wrong had become right; and according to Paine; time makes more converts than reason. Quite wordy, and eloquent language to prove a point, fuck England.

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog
A glimpse into the surreal. Caspar David Friedrich’s Romantic painting, “Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog”, explores the immensity of nature and our place within it. A lone man faces this power, letting it surround him. He experiences the surreal by standing in the middle of nature’s endless grasp.

Eraserhead (1977)
One of the most subversive, strange, but brilliant films about the anxieties of fatherhood. So much to unpack here in David Lynch's black-and-white debut. Although not his finest, the strange baby, otherworldly characters, and deliberately slow pace are interesting glimpses into the techniques and elements that made him so influential.

And Then There Were None
Perfect for gloomy days, delve into a murder mystery of a grandiose nature in the Southwest of England. Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” is a classic “whodunnit” with twisted themes of inescapable justice and overwhelming hubris. When strangers are invited to a secluded island, who will remain?

Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare
Clearly a satire that many take to be true love. Wherefore art thou Romeo? He should have checked to see if she was breathing before offing himself; these poor children lost in the haze of a first love, or was it lust? Mercutio was just collateral damage, in this tale.
