just finished reading Crooked Kingdom and omg I love all the crows so much!! some aspects of the plot may have been a little confusing to read sometimes, but the characters made up for it ten fold. I’m so excited to see all this unfold on the screen in the Netflix show!! 

currently reading: Where the Crawdads Sing

next read: either King of Scars or Prison Healer

books that are always on my mind: Percy Jackson books & The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

wooo here’s another book-inspired post!! i finished Gods and Monsters (the third book in the Serpent and Dove trilogy) a few days ago and i loved it so muchh. minus one scene that was kind of awkward to read (iykyk) the plot and character development were so goodd!! not perfect but still a great read.

next read: no clue haha lately I’ve been book jumping a lot 

currently reading: Where the Crawdads Sing & Crying in H-Mart

these photos really showcase my deep desire to move away to a meadow somewhere, just imagine how peaceful it be to live in a cute little cottage in the middle of one of these meadows - just minus the bugs :)

no major updates in reading, but i did recently finish Loveboat Reunion, which was pretty good plot-wise, but the characters’ thoughts and actions were kind of weird sometimes. 

where i live it’s going to snow for the next two days, and although i do enjoy winter, I’m really excited for all the flowers 🌸🌷 to start blooming!!

this is an appreciation post for Pinterest, and of course, mountains <333

also, some of these photos remind me a lot of Yellowstone and Grand Teton, which are two of my favorite places on earth (and they’re right next to each other!). if you’ve never been, I implore you to visit!! it’s just such a tranquil place (other than the crowds near old faithful) and absolutely breathtaking

ooo also happy belated 150th birthday (it was yesterday lol) to Yellowstone!!

one of my friends told me that I remind her of rococo art and when I looked it up, oh my gosh. literally the upmost flattery ahaha, it’s just such a perfect combo of cottage core and royalcore mixed with some light/dark academia, and these images make me so happy. 

it was finally warm out today after a long period of cold and snowy days and it was so nice. the warm weather and the lengthening days are doing wonders for my mental health loll. the sun and the 60s temps just make everything feel so much lighter :D

currently: attempting to take notes on my book for my english class (I think reading is so much better when you don’t have to write paragraphs on every single little thing but alas); also freaking out at the prospect of the future and going to college soon ahhh

listening to: willow by Taylor Swift; a dreamy cottagecore study playlist for fairies (merry go round of life from Howl’s Moving Castle)

I absolutely devoured this book; I literally could not put it down. not only was it such a unique book plot-wise, the character development and storyline were so spellbinding and engaging. the images of the “midnight library” reminded me of a mix of Mr. Lemoncello’s library and the memory shelves from the movie Inside Out. The Midnight Library was a really thought-provoking read, filled with philosophical musings and so many moments that tugged at my heart-strings.

I’m really excited to get to re-read this sometime, although I will have to get through my every-growing TBR :D

potential next reads: Where the Crawdads Sing, You’ve Reached Sam, or maybe the Scorch Trials

just finished reading Gilded by Marissa Meyer, and I loved it! it is definitely different, and surprisingly a lot darker, than some of her previous books; and although many didn’t like it as much, I think it was a really good read. it may be a little slow plot-wise, but it’s a unique twist on the Rumpelstiltskin tale with a lot of story telling/fairy tale elements. 

next read: The Midnight Library by Matt Heig (will maybe pick up You’ve Reached Sam again)

currently listening to: Crush Culture by Conan Gray

The House In The Cerulean Sea is such a heartwarming and endearing book. It reminds me a bit of a book I read as a child called Remarkable. It’s a pretty easy read but the characters are simply so adorable and sweet. 

Even though I was ready this in the dead of winter (it was snowing outside), This managed to transport me to the cerulean sea, to this cute little island in the midst of Linus’ previously gray world.

If you’re looking for a simple but sweet read, I highly recommend this, though be forewarned, it isn’t the most complex or intricate read.
