You know what’s amazing? That I know people who write books. I think all authors are amazing – writing a book (or fanfiction!) is a great accomplishment. And it blows my mind that I’ve been able to meet up and coming authors through the bookstagram community!! One of those is Hannah Marae, who you can find on Instagram @hannah.marae. When I heard about this book of hers, I was super excited. She offered me an advanced copy, and I’m so glad I took her up on the offer. I really enjoyed the book overall.

March was kind of a hard month for me. A lot of things going on in the world, one year pandemic anniversary, stressful stuff about my thesis, etc. You get the idea. So obviously, I didn’t have very many blog posts haha. I wanted to let you know what I was up to this month though, so here’s a wrap up/look back for my March! I’m toying with the idea of including more than just book-focused posts in the future. So I’m going to be talking about other media in this post as well – I hope you enjoy it all!

I just couldn’t get enough of retellings hahaha. So here is my list of retelling recommendations, part two! A lot of you seemed excited by the last post, so I hope you will enjoy this one as well. And if you have any other suggestions, please do let me know so I can further expand my TBR lol.

I feel like urban fantasy gets a bad rap, yknow? Maybe it’s because of all the YA vampire novels that were so big around the Twilight era. Not that all of those were bad!! Or maybe it’s because they still don’t have the fancy covers that almost all other genres have now. However!! I have been really into the genre lately. We all know my love for Seanan McGuire and the October Daye series. Well, the Kate Daniels series is another favorite urban fantasy series – even though this book is only the second in the series!

Yes you are reading this correctly – an actual blog post after 2.5ish months. Seeing as this is a hobby for both me and Shari, I don’t feel guilty about taking some time away but I do miss blogging! It’s fun 🙂

So it’s time to come back! For me at least haha. Shari, as you may or may not know, is a BOSS who is following her dreams at animation school!! How cool is that?!? But that also means she’s quite busy with projects and art and all that incredible stuff. I have no such excuse – I just got out of the habit of blogging lol.

What have I been up to these past 2.5ish months? Well, I’m glad you asked. If you didn’t, too bad. I’m gonna tell you anyway.
