It’s time for a weekly check-in!
Yeah, we’re getting somewhere now! It feels like I’ve hopefully finally kicked my reading slump. I think I’ve read more pages in the past 5 days than I did in the entire month of March! I’m also finally able to focus on visual reading a bit again, which I have struggled with a LOT for the past few months. Now if I could just find a way to balance my sleep schedule with all of these good books 😂
Look at me go! 🥳💃 This list hasn’t been this long in a hot minute! And most of what I’ve read this week has been great, which makes it even better.
- Empire of the Vampire // Jay Kristoff → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- No One Can Know // Kate Alice Marshall → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚 current reads 📚
I’m really happy that I finally finished off a couple of the books I’d been working on for a while! It’s a super motivating feeling and has me really wanting to clean this list up now. I only have a little bit left in both The Invocations and Melon Head Mayhem, Misty and I are planning to finish A Feather So Black tomorrow, and I feel like Dead Letters, Slaying the Vampire Conqueror, and That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon will all move fast once I pick them back up.
- The Shadow of What Was Lost // James Islington → 54%
- Dead Letters: Episodes of Epistolary Horror // Jacob Steven Mohr → 58%
- Slaying the Vampire Conqueror // Carissa Broadbent → 36%
- That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon // Kimberly Lemming → 15%
- This Cursed Light // Emily Thiede → 10%
- The Invocations // Krystal Sutherland → 61%
- A Feather So Black // Lyra Selene → 26%
- Melon Head Mayhem // Alex Ebenstein → 50%
I’m obsessed with this song off of the new Sum 41 album! The whole album is so bittersweet because it’s such a good album but it’s so sad that they’re retiring. We’re taking Isaac to see them for his first concert ever next month and I can’t wait!
What are you reading right now, or what did you recently finish? Is anything exciting happening in your life? Let me know in the comments!

April 7, 2024I’ve probably said this before but I’m slowly reading No One Can Know. I’m slower with adult mystery/thrillers than YA because I definitely like them less aha. But I love KAM so much so I really have to like this.
Eyeing you for The Krystal Sutherland book because that’s on my shelf-of-soon aha

April 27, 2024The Invocations has been EXCELLENT so far, I don’t know how I haven’t finished it yet aside from the fact that I honestly keep forgetting I haven’t finished it. 😂 But that isn’t a negative reflection on the book AT ALL, because it’s been fantastic!
