So today is December 1st It's snowing a lot outside and I'm just having a good day Like yesterday was pretty shit and being honest, but today I hope it's gonna be a good day And I'm feeling more optimistic about it And I just love the snow but right now I'm watching Katie Weismurr's vlogs and her videos I'm watching the two on her vlog channel right now So link that down below if you ever want to check that out. I really like watching her blogs But today I have two big projects due this week But yeah, two big projects due this week and I have exams next week So it's a busy time of year for school and I'm getting like a lot of marks back right now Because I've handed in a bunch of big assignments and big tests. So it's a little high stress But I'm trying to be chill about it but there's also just a lot of stuff I've been buying with Black Friday and stuff and Christmas so I thought I could also show you guys some hauls and We'll have a fun vlog update you on reading all of that stuff So the book that I actually recently read was Shine Your Icy Crown by Amanda Lovelace I love her poetry so much and this is the second book in another one of her series. The first book is The Glass Slipper one is the first book But this one was so good I like this better than the Glass Slipper one and I just love like the illustrations I love the story. There's so much stuff. I love about Amanda Lovelace's poetry. Same with Cyrus Parker There's a few other poets I feel the same about and I just I think it's amazing because as soon as I read their book I just know like I usually know before I pick it up that I'm just gonna like really really enjoy it And that's usually what happens. So Yeah, Shine Your Icy Crown was really really good. I'm not sure what I'm reading it yet I still need to write my review for like neck galley and stuff and put that on Goodreads Because yeah, my neck galley ratio is like 44% Let me know what yours is down below if you guys review books on that galley and get Yerks on there, but Yeah, my reviews that my things at like 44% is not great, but Shine Your Icy Crown doesn't come out till next year. I think February I believe so I'm so glad I saw it on that galley I was like, oh, I can order I can I can read it now So I was really excited about that and it was pretty good So I'm glad that my first like 20 21 most anticipated read was like a good one So yeah, I'm excited. But anyways, I'm probably gonna do some schoolwork today. I'm gonna get lunch soon. And yeah, guys Happy Tuesday. So for my little update today so far yesterday I ended up reading starting finishing Heart Stopper volume one I really enjoyed it was a reread for me And I've just been meaning to read this series again for the longest time because I still haven't read volume three But I've read one and two so I'm gonna be reading volume two super soon And yeah, I gave this five stars the first time around I think I gave 4.5 but honestly so so good a great graphic novel just about Two boys falling for each other and it's really adorable and I would just highly recommend it I think it's great a lot of people like this is a popular book So a lot of people have already read this but if you haven't picked it up yet and you're interested in it This is a little push for you to do that if you feel like it because it's so good and like the happiness that I feel when I read this book is Can't be measured so a little dramatic, but I was just so happy reading this so yeah Like the this is one of the books that remind me of like why I read so much in the first place and like why I have stories so much, but yeah, this one super good. I would highly recommend checking it out Hey guys, happy Wednesday.
