Book Review: "The Palace"by Gareth Russell (Pt. 5)
This review covers chapter 18 to the end of the book *** Chapter 18 covers the reign of Queen Anne, the final queen of the Stuart household and mostly seems to look at the idea that she could barely marry, she had lots of miscarriages and in the end the only child she had lived to eleven years' old and so, she had no heir. There were many questions of Queen Anne's marriage, from her husband participating in homosexual affairs to the ideas put forward in the film The Favourite in which it is Queen Anne who is homosexual and promiscuous. Whatever it was, I definitely feel sorry for Queen Anne - everything must have hurt by the end of her reign, too many pregnancies and miscarriages meant her health was declining quickly towards the end. It's quite sad.

How 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Proves Daenerys' Plan To Retake Westeros Was Never Going To Go As Well As She Thought
Nearly seven years after it aired, the eighth and final season of the phenomenon that was Game of Thrones is still remembered for one of the most divisive TV series endings of all time. Much of the controversy stems from fans believing the ending was too rushed, particularly the scenes in which Queen Daenerys Targaryen, seemingly depicted as a hero for most of the series, succumbs to Targaryen madness and burns many of the innocent commoners of King's Landing in her bid to seize the Iron Throne.

Book Review: "The Palace"by Gareth Russell (Pt. 4)
This review covers chapter 13 to chapter 17 *** Chapter 13 is the Queen's Bedchamber and covers the sicknesses of King James' wife - Anne. She is consumed by something after the birth of her last child, bleeding and pain is everywhere. But the doctor's don't actually know what it is: is it gout? is it malnutrition? is it something to do with her female reproductive organs? Who knows. Some diagnosed it as dropsy. But it is said that she still came about in public until she could no longer do so - still doing her public duty through intense amounts of pain and fever. Still decked out in jewels more expensive than entire cities in her country.

Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
"The Burbs" (2026), Creator: Celeste Hughey, Actors: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall Somehow, I got through this series. I was expecting something different. “The Burbs” takes a psychological thriller approach until it becomes a soap opera, where all the characters talk about random things. I am a Keke Palmer fan, but she felt so misplaced. Credits also include Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalker. The actors look like they’re having a fun time working with each other in scenes, but the dialogue and the storyline are so forced. The writing isn’t so good, and the actors try their best. It has to end with a cliffhanger ending.
