Book Review: "A Hidden History of the Tower of London" by John Paul Davis (Pt. 1). Top Story - April 2026.
Rating: 5/5 - what a wicked way to begin a book about one of the most intriguing buildings in the whole country! In the introduction, we are aptly brought into the world of the Tower of London and get to see why it was built in the first place. John Paul Davis teaches us about its Norman History and how nobody had yet seen anything quite like it in the country. It was changed and changed again until being really completed in the 14th century. Though it is a bit here and there about what exactly it was used for - John Paul Davis definitely makes it one of the most interesting and fun topics to learn about when it comes to the history of one of the most enigmatic cities of the world. It has been directly and indirectly involved with so much, there are the crown jewels kept there but there are also engraved names on the stone showing us the horrors of those who were housed there, awaiting execution. I think the author does well of explaining of how this book means 'so many things to so many people' as he says himself in the text.

SpongeBob Review
"Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm" stands as a monumental entry in the SpongeBob SquarePants canon, blending high-stakes action with the series' signature absurdist humor. The narrative kicks into gear when the terrifying Alaskan Bull Worm descends upon Bikini Bottom, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Driven by a personal vendetta after the creature swipes a piece of her tail, the ever-brave Sandy Cheeks insists on hunting the beast down, despite SpongeBob’s frantic and hyperbolic attempts to dissuade her from such a suicidal mission. The central journey through the treacherous terrain outside of town showcases the hilarious dynamic between the two protagonists, contrasting Sandy’s unwavering bravado with SpongeBob’s trembling cowardice. As they trek through the wilderness, the tension builds toward an inevitable confrontation. When they finally track the creature, the animation vividly captures the scale of the beast, making the initial battle feel like a triumph of grit and determination as Sandy expertly manages to subdue the writhing menace and tie it into an impenetrable, complex knot to reclaim her lost appendage.

SpongeBob Review
"Squid on Strike" stands as a masterclass in comedic irony, capturing the quintessential frustration of workplace exploitation within the walls of the Krusty Krab. The premise ignites when Mr. Krabs, in his insatiable greed, levies absurd charges against his employees for basic operational costs, driving Squidward to organize a labor strike. What follows is a delicious descent into chaos, as the refined, disgruntled cashier attempts to lead a serious protest against his penny-pinching boss through the naive, often misguided lens of SpongeBob SquarePants. The humor truly flourishes through SpongeBob’s utter inability to grasp the concept of a protest, as he transforms the strike into a surreal, whimsical performance piece rather than a calculated economic standoff. Instead of deterring patrons, the duo’s antics inadvertently create a bizarre tourist attraction that draws more customers to the restaurant than ever before. Watching Squidward realize that his attempt to dismantle Mr. Krabs’ authority has actually amplified his profits is a stroke of narrative genius that highlights the inherent absurdity of the show’s dynamic.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 4, “Where’s the Beef... and the Budget?”, keeps the drama light but messy. It’s not the most explosive episode, but it has movement. Pinky’s finances become harder to ignore. Phaedra keeps giggling and stirring, though it raises the question of what else she is bringing to the room. Drew is completely absent, not even present through a phone call, and honestly, I didn’t miss her.
