Very Overdue Reading Update

very overdue reading update

okay so

last i said i finished the winners which closed out the beartown series and i adored them so much. i love benji and i have done a heavy amount of reading since then.

i ended up dabbling in a genre i'm not entirely familiar with, that being romance. i read and finished the chestnut springs series by elsie silver in the span of 12 days and i really enjoyed them believe it or not. though i hated the last one and i will personally fist fight beau eaton myself.

now to shift from all of that sappy lovey dovey stuff i am reading

drum roll

a little life by hanya yanagihara

yes i know how sad the story is and no i do not think i am prepared for it but i feel like this is the time in my life i just need to bite the bullet and finish it.

that being said, since starting streaming i have been really good with my reading goals and i've been flying through books. this has been really good for me and i'm so happy that i have reached affiliate on twitch so i can start earning money on doing something i love.

i think i might wrap this post up soon but if you are interested in watching me on twitch and would like to join reading sprints you can check out my link in my pinned post, i stream every tuesday, thursday through sunday at 10pm est.

i've been feeling really good. reading slumps do pass

so, all this week, i am going to be streaming on twitch for reading/writing/study sprints. if yall are interested in joining for any of these days, feel free to join me!

update: slightly plotted it, i think it's going pretty well so far. i'm going to be honest, it's been a hot minute since i've actually written anything but i am pretty excited and confident in this. more updates to come in the future i think!

late night ramblings

so onto more bookish things that are also sims adjacent, i think i finally found a plot for a story i want to write?

i won't go into too much detail but, it's mainly a queer country/cowgirl romance? bisexual girl with a lesbian nonbinary person? idk i think it would be pretty interesting.

yes this is fully based off of the horse ranch pack that i am dreaming of owning but i think i might be too poor for it rn.

but anyway i might plot some of it tonight? i have a fairly good idea of what direction i would want it to go, kind of a discovery of sexuality book maybe? idk but those are my thoughts.

see? my sims binge isn't totally useless!

reading update

small reading update for the day.

i'm about halfway through the winners, it has been going a bit slow for me but i honestly just think i'm in a physical reading slump and i'm trying to push through it. ugh.

next, i just started how to sell a haunted house by grady hendrix and im about an hour into it and its pretty good. i really like the buildup so far and the brother mark is so sus i feel like he has smth to do with the parents' death. idk though but that is my theory so far!

anyway, feel free to let me know what you're currently reading if you'd like or just let me know if you've read either of these so far!

until next time! probably tomorrow

i'm gonna be so honest right now, i have been playing the sims all day and haven't read anything.

to be fair i kinda wanna write something and i do want to base the characters off of my sims so you could say i am working out my plot for the book. or you could say i wanna slack off a little. either way sims is cool and i wish i had the horse expansion pack man

another reading update

so i have about five hours left of how to sell a haunted house and i realllyyyyy hate these dolls/puppets.

i feel bad for blaming mark for stuff now i see his side of the story but i do have to admit he was being a bit sus in the beginning.

and the ring leader puppet? pupkin? yeah i don't fuck with him tbh.

its actually scary like? when you get to the fight scene in the house with the needle? yeah that one i was cringing so hard because i hate that stuff so much.

so far i would give it about 4.5 or even 5 stars, it's my type of creepy, an actual book that makes me cringe and be creeped out but not over the top like a slasher horror. i would recommend it so far!
