Greetings Readers!
This past month has honestly been a whirlwind. So many exciting things have happened, I have read so many amazing books and yeah started another semester of uni, but let’s focus on the good stuff.
I have big plans for February, the shortest month of the year. But I have a feeling I might be pulled away due to the aforementioned uni situation, but f*** it, I’m still gonna enjoy myself. *I’ll pay the high price later.*

I FAN-ARTED
I had to do something to commemorate The Light Between Worlds by Laura E. Weymouth because I love it that much. It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted and there is def room for improvement, but I still really like it!
I BINGED THE ENTIRE LORE OLYMPUS WEBTOON SERIES AND I NEED MORE
I saw someone on twitter tweet about it. Then I went to the author/artist’s twitter page, clicked the link to the webtoon link and spent 3 hours reading every single episode. It is honestly so great. I need more in my life, especially since I have to wait for weekly updates *sobs*
It’s cheeky, sassy and like they are all so thirsty, but there is also a really emotional level in the series too. I just..I *heart eyes*

Reading with Rendz 
Great post! I also read the Shadow and Bone series throughout January and am now in the middle of Ruin and Rising because The Wicked King was of higher priority haha! But I loved it! And I seriously didn’t know Nikolai would play a big part, it was a huge but very very pleasant surprise for me!

I really enjoyed Enchantee and hope you do too 🙂 it’s very favorite book from Flatiron books so far. I totally understand how you are on Blood Heir. I decided to not review it right now until we learn about it in the future and if it’s revised, I’ll pick it up as well 😀 glad it was a great month for you!
