March was a wild month for me as I started a new job, began working on a new series of paintings, and tried to figure out how to balance everything. I’m still getting used to my new schedule, and am no closer to having a book fully read, but I’m hoping I can get myself... Continue Reading →
February Wrap-Up
February was a really good month, though slightly off the track I had originally thought I would take. It kind of made me laugh that I happened to pick up Half-Blood randomly (didn't even have the whole series) and got immersed in that. I'm definitely not mad since it meant I actually read, and quit... Continue Reading →
Books I Want to Read in 2022
Beyond just picking up new releases this year I also have a list of books I've been meaning to read in this new year, or am just behind the masses on reading. A few might be somewhat recent releases, but overall these are books I feel like I need to read in 2022. The Eye... Continue Reading →
Kpop in YA Fiction Book Reviews
Every time I get back into Kpop it's like an addiction where it feeds into everything I as a consumer get. My art was the first thing hit as a number of the portraits I've been doing were definitely Kpop idols I currently follow, but my reading this time also had some Kpop influencing it...

Anticipated Reads of 2022
One way I like to start my year, and also get myself out of reading slumps is by picking up new releases. Sometimes there is hype with these, but the amazing thing about getting new releases is that you get to be a part of the excitement and also form in an opinion before the... Continue Reading →
The Storm of Echoes by Christelle Dabos {Book Review}
This series has been one I've followed since finding on Instagram back with book one, and it was amazing to see it slowly gain interest among the bookstagrammers and book tubers . Fantasy series tend to feel pretty unique since they explore worlds other than their own, but Christelle Dabos created one with this series... Continue Reading →
December Wrap-Up
December was a busy month, just not for reading. Instead I ended up cleaning, cooking, and taking care of my family. So in lieu of a successful end to the year I’m working on the content and setup for the next year. -The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes -The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn...

Kingdoms of Sand & Sky Series by Sarah Henning {Books 1-2 Review}
During this last year I've mostly read books that were already well on my list for a while, so this series is unique in that I bought it based on the covers and the hype. I know, I really could've set myself up for misery with those as factors. I'll mostly focus on book one... Continue Reading →
Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean {Book Review}
Spring and Summer always puts me in a contemporary romance mood similar to how I read more fantasy come fall. I've always been a mood reader, but seasons impact that just as much as anything else! I think this book in particular had been one I found when building my anticipated releases of 2021 list,... Continue Reading →
Books with Unique Settings
There's nothing like picking up a Fantasy novel/series that just seems to suck you into its story and world, but it's a whole other level when the world feels unique and new to you. Some of this just has to do with diversifying your reading and straying from the stories/characters/worlds that we've grown up with... Continue Reading →
