Today's video features a mini book haul including a variety of genres, gifts, and a bookish candle curtesy of the one and only Brian from BellTube.

I also talk about a children's book I've been reading with my son for any parents out there.

Today's video is finally Live!

This might be one of my longest videos I've done with the most editing, which took extra time to finish.

I hope it's of use to someone out there looking to make their own videos or make changes to their current set up.

Well, I just finished part 2 of Lightfall by Ed Crocker and what a wild turn!

Chapter 20 had me on the edge of my seat and I’m not sure I’m ready for what’s to come.

In today's video I tackle the topic of buying less & reading more via the Read Your Bookshelf Challenge.

It's easy to buy books faster than we can read them & with new years goals in the mix, there's a few important points to remember. Watch the video to find out more 🔗⬇️

I’m continuing with Lightfall by Ed Crocker. 80 pages in and started the audiobook to immersion read it. So far so good, with plenty of intrigue, lore and conflicts.

And done! The Bloodsworn saga has come to an end, and what a conclusion it was.

Brilliantly done John Gwynne, a spectacular tale.

Practice makes progress

After 16 failed artisan and sourdough loaves with multiple variations to experiment & problem solve, I’ve finally gotten edible and beautiful loaves of bread

All of this has been over the course of a year or more, showing time & stubbornness pay off 🤣

It’s time for another reading update! 3 books read and 2 currently reading, each different genres.

Watch the video to see what I’ve been reading and why the reading year has started off so strong.

Happy release day to Lightfall by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social !

I’m having a great time with this so far and enjoying the library obsessed main character.

Be sure to grab your copy, now that it’s available!
Only a few days left until this tale with no humans releases! The beginning of the Everlands trilogy by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social

That means I’m diving into this world of vampires, werwolves and magic and so far, a good start with a book loving character. I can’t say no to that 😏

“NEW ACHIEVEMENT! You finished this book and didn’t throw it against the wall!”

I can see why this series is so addictive, what a blast of a read. I hit a bit of a lull in the middle but overall it’s a mixture of fun and survival. Full review to come soon.

It’s a snowman day! ⛄️

While baking snowman sugar cookies, I’m listening to Murder on the North Pole Express by Patricia Meredith and narrated by @andrewdmth.bsky.social

It’s a charming, and mysterious story that blends holiday traditions from around the world & only 30 mins left!!!

Okay! I love my OC Cortogh! The Dog Men, have made appearances in the early books of the Triempery series but--wait for this!--Cortogh becomes a full character in THE WALLED CITY, which is releasing in April.

Cortogh is fierce, smart, and a wicked good fighter! Just look at him! #epicfantasy

Author interviews. 👀, amirite? This was probably my best to date, as Kay and I explore the roots of my fantastically satirical world view. @kayshiddenshelf.bsky.social
