One day, while playing with a new raid group on his favourite MMO, he meets a female elf called Solace, whom he all of a sudden finds himself falling for, even though he’s pastContinue reading “Looking For Group by Alexis Hall”

My Fair Brady By Brian D. Kennedy
Wade is selfish, confidently so, or at least that’s what everyone tells him. He wants the perfect senior year, the perfect boyfriend back, and the lead in the school play.

The Haunting Between Us by Paul Micheal Winters
3/5 Stars This book was said to be Heartstopper meets The Haunting of Hill House. While I enjoyed it, and I really did, the narrative weighed more towards Heartstopper when it should have tilted towards Hill House. Cameron, a boy with a deep hatred for the house opposite his own, is surprised when Hugo, aContinue reading “The Haunting Between Us by Paul Micheal Winters”

Wicked
Everyone deserves a chance to fly! When I turned up at the cinema to watch this film, I wasn’t sure what this movie was about. I’ve never seen the stage play, due to COVID, but I was a fan of a few songs from the soundtrack. Also being a fan of both The Wizard ofContinue reading “Wicked”
Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is a complicated book for me to review, as I am not the target audience. I am aware it’s a children’s book, while I am in my late twenties. All of my thoughts and feelings in regards to this highly respected story come from a more mature mind, soContinue reading “Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan”
The Twat Files by Dawn French
A collection of real-life stories by one of my absolute favourite funny women? Yes, please! I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my free time. I really enjoyed this collection of stories, many of which I’d never heard Dawn tell before, despite being quite a big fan. Each tale, twatish as promised, isContinue reading “The Twat Files by Dawn French”
Social Media: Hatred’s Magnifying Glass
In a world where hate seems so prevalent, why is it I don’t experience this pain in real life? The words faggot, and bitch, next to racial slurs in a comment section, written by profiles which refuse to house a face. Each word is like a punch to the gut. I can’t breath, I chokeContinue reading “Social Media: Hatred’s Magnifying Glass”
Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson
‘Loving People. That’s a fucking flaw if you want to be a hero.’ – Phonenicia Rogerson in Herc Herc is a modernised re-telling of the story of Hercules. It is both queer and feminist, told from the POV of many of the lesser explored characters from the original story. One of the things that thisContinue reading “Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson”
Mean Girls: The Musical
I want to preface this post by saying that I’ve never watched the original Mean Girls film, just a few clips here and there, so this cinema experience was a brand-new one for me. At first, upon seeing the trailers, I was sceptical. The film seemed dated, rehashing old jokes, telling a story out ofContinue reading “Mean Girls: The Musical”
