Book Review: "The Running Man" by Stephen King
I have no idea why I chose to read this but it was just there and so I did. Sometimes, you just need some Stephen King in your life. I feel like during the Halloween season you'll probably see more of this from me but yet again, I read this one on my phone. The Running Man is a very interesting dystopian story and, as we know, another dystopian story by Stephen King has recently been adapted and so if you haven't read The Long Walk then I would highly recommend it. However, this review is about The Running Man so let's get back on topic...

Cowboys vs. Packers
In the vast tapestry of the NFL, few rivalries carry the weight, history, and sheer dramatic flair of the Dallas Cowboys versus the Green Bay Packers. When these two iconic franchises collide, it’s more than just a game; it's a spectacle that captivates the football world. Whether you're checking the Cowboys score or the Packers score, a matchup between "America's Team" and the "Titletown" legends is always must-see television, blending historic legacy with modern-day playoff implications.

Book Review: "House of Monstrous Women" by Daphne Fama
I've missed horror involving women and well, even though it's still September, it is approaching Halloween quite nicely. I've bought some new t-shirts involving cutesy ghosts and jumpers with witches on them. I'm prepping myself carefully but my main goal is to buy a pumpkin and of course, make pumpkin filled cupcakes or something. The book House of Monstrous Women is a novel which involves tragedy, brilliance, gore and the resilience of a woman against odds. I thoroughly enjoyed this book for its connections to Filipino culture and all its greatness...

Book Review: "The Artist of Blackberry Grange" by Paulette Kennedy
Paulette Kennedy is a great writer. If anyone remembers my review of The Devil and Mrs Davenport then they will definitely recall how I couldn't stop heaping praises on her writing style. The Witch of Tin Mountain was also a great novel but I have to be honest when I say Parting the Veil kind of let me down. I think Paulette Kennedy is best when she's writing period 'good for her' novels but then again, she's free to choose what she does with her writing. Let's take a look at her novel The Artist of Blackberry Grange then and see whether it has lived up to my expectations...

Google Turns 27th
On September 27, 2024, the tech giant we interact with daily celebrates a monumental milestone: Google's 27th birthday. What began as a research project named "Backrub" by two Ph.D. students in a Stanford dorm room has since exploded into a verb, a global empire, and an indispensable layer of modern life. This Google birthday isn't just a corporate anniversary; it's a moment to reflect on how a single search engine fundamentally altered the course of human knowledge, communication, and commerce.

Book Review: "Evenings and Weekends" by Oisín Mckenna
Sometimes, I like to read a book or two on my phone as you know and I don't want to sound like I haven't been faithful to my books but I have had this one for about three months on my phone now. It's not something I'm proud of but here we are. Evenings and Weekends is a book filled with 'characters' if you can say that. The writing is often impressively deep and the storyline was definitely interesting enough to keep me reading. So, though it probably won't end up on the 'best of the year' list, it definitely isn't that bad. Let's take a look at how this author wove together character-centric stories to create a larger narrative set in the midst of a heatwave...
