Going through my red phase. 🎨
Making progress on the new painting, but now it’s time to let it dry. 🎨 🖌️
I’ve had a lot of fun getting into intuitive painting! Going into this without a concrete vision is always intimidating, but the process is fun and surprisingly meditative. I’m excited to see how this one unfolds!

Don’t get me wrong, I ADORED Mistborn, but Warbreaker might be one of my favorite books of all time. 💙📚

It’s a chilly Sunday so this book sniffer is sniffing some books and enjoying a bit too much coffee.
Has anyone else read Warbreaker? What are your thoughts? 💙📚

You were right. I have been destroyed and healed and now I’m just staring at the wall. 💙📚

A little more than halfway done with The Hero of Ages. What Sanderson book should I dive into after Era 1 of Mistborn? I need more!

I’ve been in a reading slump for the last few weeks, mostly because of Dragon Age, but I soared through The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso in one sitting.
Reality-bending magic? Sapphic pining? Hurt/comfort? Fight scenes? Campy locked room murder mystery? YES PLEASE. 🌈📚💙

100 pages in, things are starting to happen. Preparing myself for devastation and the urge to make this book my entire personality.
I want to wrap Jude up in a cocoon and protect him from everything. 😭

I bought the last book in The Poppy War trilogy as well as A Little Life, and I think the cashier at Barnes & Noble was genuinely concerned about my mental health. 😅😂
