Mini Project Update

Woooo just submitted my first draft of chapter 2!!! I feel like this chapter needed more work than the first one, so I'm not expecting I'm *done* it yet (we'll see what my advisor says) but so far, we're moving along perfectly.

My next chapter is going to be about retellings and fanfiction so I'm super excited to get writing that (especially as someone who has written both myself!).

Wooooo!

I've been watching Anne with an E.

I watched the first season when it came out, didn't like some of the choices, and dropped it ((and this was before I was a Certified LMM Freak)).

But now it's spring and I'm craving Anne, so here we are.

I'm on episode 5 and all I can say is that this show is enjoyable, but it's kind of bad lmao

ok so for christmas I got my dad a giftcard and a personalized list of book recommendations

and i ended up recommending quite a few books i *hadn't* read, but i had heard were pretty good

and i realized that was pretty lame of me, so i decided i was going to read the ones i hadn't read yet

and so i chose to start with Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings and

holy shit

i think this book is changing my life

going to the bookstore these days is fucking wild

half the books seem to be more about aesthetic than content, with their sprayed edges and gold foil covers and fancy textures

the other half have the most absolute gong show random-ass names that makes me wonder how the fuck this trash is getting published en masse

also absolutely wild that my bookstore now has a #booktok section like ??????? ????? ??????? what kind of apocalypse are we living in

i just want to read Jane Eyre, yo

ANYWAY I got Uprooted, Don't Let the Forest In, and Rouge this visit. It was a gift for finishing the semester, so yes I got all fairy tale inspired books because then I can call them "research" and "part of my career" instead of "books :) that make me happy :) "
