Reading Update
Today I thought I'd share what I'm reading instead! This isn't a TBR, just what I'm actually reading at the moment.
I am slowly working on my spooky TBR and trying to get ready for the ABC Challenge. So there's a lotto come! Just not today haha.
Two books I just finished are Dear Ava and The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory--More Than 150 Magical Recipes for Wizards and Non-Wizards Alike.
I you want a full review I can give one but Just know it won't be favorable.
I still recommend this because what doesn't work for me, could totally work for you!
I also read a pretty cool cookbook from the Harry Potter world because I'm still obsessed lol.
Now, moving onto what I'm currently Reading! I've got two in the works. One is a graphic novel, and the other is a historical romance.

Share A Poem on Sunday - Rain by William Saphier
This captures anxiety quite well I think. The feeling is like a storm, you know it's coming but you just can't stop it. All you can do is try and ride it out.
RAIN
Like crawling black monsters
the big clouds tap at my window,
their shooting liquid fingers slide
over the staring panes
and merge on the red wall.
Some of the fingers pull at the hinges
and whisper insistently: “Let us come in,
the cruel wind whips and drives us
till we are sore and in despair.”
But I cannot harbor the big crawling black clouds,
I cannot save them from the angry wind.
In a tiny crevice of my aching heart
there is a big storm brewing
and loud clamour and constant prayer
for the reflection of snow-capped mountains
on a distant lake.
Tires and dazed I sit on a bear skin
and timidly listen to the concert of storms.

Wattpad + Writing Rambles + My Story
It seems like forever ago when I said I was going to put a few old stories up on Wattpad because I wanted to share them with the world. Well, I've finally started!
The first one that I've started putting up was one I wrote over four years ago. It's my paranormal romance. It's called The Elemental.
After Raven and her sister's mom dies they discover they are being stalked. All while strange things keep happening that can't be explained. Raven is put through hell but with help from something that has come alive in her and help of bi-racial werewolf Derek Nakashima, she just might make it.
Raven learns that her mother had married the Nakashima's father and, now they're here to protect her and her sister, whom they claim are in danger from the Council. While coming to terms with this new world, mastering her gift, and protecting her sister, Raven will learn things about her parents and even herself that she never would've dreamed.
I do hope you'll give it a look, I post two-three chapters every Sunday. I've already written the whole thing and so the uploads will come on time.
If you have any advice, critique, or comments on the story please do tell me! I want to improve my craft so that hopefully one day I can get one of my stories published.
That's really it for this one, have a great day! Thanks for stopping by and stay safe!

UPDATE + What's To Come
Hey there! I hope you’re having an amazing day! This is just a small post to let you guys know what’s going on in my busy life.
I’ve said this on Twitter, where I spend most of my time online. I’m looking into working more on Instagram and maybe TikTok, but we’ll see. But back to Twitter, I said that I’m going to be taking classes on graphic design, so that means my free time kinda went up in smoke. So it has delegated my blogging time to Sunday.
On Sundays I will create all the posts for that week and be hopping around your amazing blog. So please don’t think I’ve stopped visiting you. I’ll just be catching up on Sunday. I promise!
But this also means that as I learn more in class, I can make my blog look more professional, which excites me. I’m nervous about the classes as I’m not the best at drawing. Honestly, I rather suck at it, but I love creating logos and thumbnails and banners. So I’m willing to work hard.
Sadly, this leaves less time for reading, so fewer book reviews will be up. So if you have any ideas for posts, PLEASE let me know!
I have a few ideas that I’m bashing out, but have no idea when they will be complete. So just hang in there with me!
No, I’m not quitting blogging and there will be at least one new post a week, so don’t worry! I just won’t be blog hopping unless it’s Sunday. That’s it.
Lastly, I want to know what you’re up to? What have you been reading? Watching? Anything exciting happen in your life lately? Let me know everything down below!
As always, have a great day! Happy reading!
