Asher Short Story
Hi guys, as part of a challenge set by my writing group I had to write a story of around 400 words without using the word ‘the’. It was a fun challenge and, of course, I decided to write about my favourite Constellation. So I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into Asher’s childhood. Let me know what you think, and if I should stop using the word ‘the’ entirely!
“I hate you.”
“Good, means I’m not coddling you.”
A table, an umbrella, a pair of socks, a candlestick, some papers. Ash...

Let’s Talk About Spider-Man: Homecoming
Hi guys, my latest cinema trip was to see the new Marvel offering, Spider-Man: Homecoming. I was excited to go and see a Spider-Man film that was produced by Marvel Studios (Sony has had the sole movie rights to that character so far) but he isn’t one of my favourite heroes. So, I think I came out with an unbiased review, even though my sister calls me a Marvel fangirl.
This is the third version of Spider-Man that we’ve seen so far and I can say that it’s easily my favourite. Tom Hollan...

Let’s Talk About Pokemon Sun and Moon
Hi guys, today I’m talking about a pair of games that I was completely buzzing about from the first mention of their release, Pokémon Sun and Moon.
I’ve been a massive Pokémon fan since the original games, so I’m going to admit that this could be a biased opinion right now. This series is the reason I own every generation of Nintendo handheld consoles…
I’m sure everyone knows, but these are RPG games where you travel around the world collecting, trading, and battling monsters. The basic...
