My Favourite Alex Cross Books

I’ve been reading James Patterson books for years, and the Alex Cross series has always been my go-to thriller. There’s something about a detective who’s smart, resourceful, and endlessly determined that just hooks me (I still picture Morgan Freeman). These Alex Cross books combine suspense, twisted villains, and edge-of-your-seat action that keeps me turning pages late into the night—even when I really should be asleep. Here are my favourite entries in the series, ranked with their creep factor so you know which ones might make you check over your shoulder.

I’ve Reached My Bird Watching Era (And Merlin Is My Sidekick)

It finally happened. I’ve crossed the line from “guy who enjoys being outside” to “dad who stares into the trees for suspiciously long periods.” Yes, friends — I’ve reached my bird watching era. And honestly? It rules.

I’m not talking about hardcore ornithology with a spotting scope the size of a hockey stick. I’m talking about low-stakes, backyard, out for a walk, “hey, what the heck kind of bird is that?” type of bird watching. The kind that sneaks up on you. One day you’re grilling sausages and the next you’re yelling “Cardinal!” like it’s a celebrity sighting.

I Just Signed Up for Gander—The Canadian Twitter That Might Actually Be Nice

In early 2025, I finally deleted Twitter from my phone. Not in a dramatic rage-quit kind of way—just a quiet “this isn’t good for me anymore” kind of moment. The app that once gave me breaking news, spicy jokes, and Raptors trade drama had become, well… exhausting. Less barbershop banter, more dumpster fire.

So when I heard about Gander, a new Canadian-made social media platform that’s promising a safer, more civil alternative? I was in.

Yes, I’ve already signed up for the beta. And yes, you can too.
