Summary: Half-bloods are the children of evil in the magic community and being affiliated with one of the most respected black magic priests in the world does not make this any less true, even if he is your stepfather, and especially if no one knows about it. You have successfully become a part of the family business as a banisher- the most powerful form of exorcist there is- a celebrated nun of your church, and a thought to be orphaned girl that Father Inho took in with open arms. Until tonight, you have rarely ventured anywhere on your own, it was strictly forbidden as far as your father was concerned, but when you notice something falling from the sky your curiosity goes against your better judgment and you sneak out. You are expecting a shooting star or object from a spell gone wrong, but instead, you are greeted by a man chained to the ground.

Warnings: Violence, religious themes, graphic depictions of death, a lot of foul language, mentions of sex, mentions of homosexuality, discrimination, homophobia, slut shaming, mentions of mental health, mentions of rape (extremely light mentions); angst

I could smell it as soon as I walked into the room. That smoky, burnt smell that infected my senses. I could almost taste it. I turned to my father, his eyes were now pitch black- something I would never be able to do with my magic- and I knew he was trying to find his way into the host. My eyes shifted back to the scene before me. The boy could not have been more than six, his small hands clenched into fists once it noticed that metallic aura that surrounded my father. My scent was masked, a trick I had learned from Sister Eun-Bin when I was a little girl.

His family was in a corner of their small shack at the far end of Wall. I took in my surroundings. The four windows, the teal stained wood, and the small bed that all five of them shared. I felt an ache in my heart once I caught the eyes of the boy’s mother. I gave her a small nod to tell her everything would be alright. My father did not share my sentiment, his gaze never wavering from his target. His black magic never allowed him the same empathy as I. No one in my household could feel the way I could. The woman nodded back in return.

“Sister,” My father suddenly said, his voice rough and cold. “Make sure all of the doors and windows are closed. Ask the family if they have a mirror.”

I did not respond with words. My father did not bring me here to chatter, nor did he bring me here to help with the exorcism. I am here as a translator. The people of Wall speak a different dialect of Korean, their phrases and use of grammar differs so greatly from the rest of the country that only Wall natives could understand them. However, though both my mother and I can speak Walish, she is too valuable to my father for him to bring her here. I am not. My heart felt heavier than before.

“Can you help me board up the doors and windows? We need to make sure that once Father Inho begins the banishment the creature has no way to escape. We’re also going to need a mirror. The biggest one you have preferably. I will replace all the damages in full. Don’t worry, we’ll bring your boy back to you. The darkness will not linger, I will make sure of that personally.”

“It’s in the bathroom,” The boy’s mother said, all of it coming out so fast I barely caught every word, “Min, go get it. Hurry.”

“I need help, Sunmi. It’s heavy.” The woman’s husband, Min responded.

“The kids are not leaving this room. Grab firewood while you’re out. We need to board everything up.”

“I’ll help. We need to get it out as quickly as we can.” I offered.

“Bless you, sister.” Sunmi cried, her eyes turning from charcoal black to a warm chestnut.

She must be a summoner. That explains why her boy was targeted. Tricky business. Though it is not the case in every region of Korea, in Wall a summoner is one who contacts the dead for funerals. Wall is a magic town where superstitions are more than that, they are their reality, and the people believe that you must contact the dead to accept your loved ones before they may pass. That is where the summoner comes in, their eyes seeing all beyond the realm of the living. The boy must have been the only weak one in the house for it to choose him. This is not a strong demon. I quickly thought of a different strategy, a safer one, and I knew what I had to do.

My father did not share my sentiment, his gaze never wavering from his target. His black magic never allowed him the same empathy as I. No one in my household could feel the way I could. The woman nodded back in return.

“Sister,” My father suddenly said, his voice rough and cold. “Make sure all of the doors and windows are closed. Ask the family if they have a mirror.”

I did not respond with words. My father did not bring me here to chatter, nor did he bring me here to help with the exorcism. I am here as a translator. The people of Wall speak a different dialect of Korean, their phrases and use of grammar differs so greatly from the rest of the country that only Wall natives could understand them. However, though both my mother and I can speak Walish, she is too valuable to my father for him to bring her here. I am not. My heart felt heavier than before.

“Can you help me board up the doors and windows? We need to make sure that once Father Inho begins the banishment the creature has no way to escape. We’re also going to need a mirror. The biggest one you have preferably. I will replace all the damages in full. Don’t worry, we’ll bring your boy back to you. The darkness will not linger, I will make sure of that personally.”

“It’s in the bathroom,” The boy’s mother said, all of it coming out so fast I barely caught every word, “Min, go get it. Hurry.”

“I need help, Sunmi. It’s heavy.” The woman’s husband, Min responded.

“The kids are not leaving this room. Grab firewood while you’re out. We need to board everything up.”

“I’ll help. We need to get it out as quickly as we can.” I offered.

“Bless you, sister.” Sunmi cried, her eyes turning from charcoal black to a warm chestnut.

She must be a summoner. That explains why her boy was targeted. Tricky business. Though it is not the case in every region of Korea, in Wall a summoner is one who contacts the dead for funerals. Wall is a magic town where superstitions are more than that, they are their reality, and the people believe that you must contact the dead to accept your loved ones before they may pass. That is where the summoner comes in, their eyes seeing all beyond the realm of the living. The boy must have been the only weak one in the house for it to choose him. This is not a strong demon. I quickly thought of a different strategy, a safer one, and I knew what I had to do.

Banished {Trailer}

Fallen Angel! Jimin x Exorcist! Reader

Other tags: Reaper! Jimin, Exorcist! Namjoon, Black witch! Namjoon, Exorcist! Seokjin, Black witch! Seokjin, Hybrid! Reader, White Witch! Jungkook, Angel! Yoongi, Best Friend! Hoseok, Oracle! Hoseok, Demon! Taehyung

Summary: Half-bloods are the children of evil in the magic community and being affiliated with one of the most respected black magic priests in the world does not make this any less true, even if he is your stepfather, and especially if no one knows about it. You have successfully become a part of the family business as a banisher- the most powerful form of exorcist there is- a celebrated nun of your church, and a thought to be orphaned girl that Father Inho took in with open arms. Until tonight, you have rarely ventured anywhere on your own, it was strictly forbidden as far as your father was concerned, but when you notice something falling from the sky your curiosity goes against your better judgment and you sneak out. You are expecting a shooting star or object from a spell gone wrong, but instead, you are greeted by a man chained to the ground.

Warnings: Violence, religious themes, graphic depictions of death, a lot of foul language, mentions of sex, mentions of homosexuality, discrimination, homophobia, slut shaming, mentions of mental health, mentions of rape (extremely light mentions); angst

I could smell it as soon as I walked into the room. That smoky, burnt smell that infected my senses. I could almost taste it. I turned to my father, his eyes were now pitch black- something I would never be able to do with my magic- and I knew he was trying to find his way into the host. My eyes shifted back to the scene before me. The boy could not have been more than six, his small hands clenched into fists once it noticed that metallic aura that surrounded my father. My scent was masked, a trick I had learned from Sister Eun-Bin when I was a little girl.

His family was in a corner of their small shack at the far end of Wall. I took in my surroundings. The four windows, the teal stained wood, and the small bed that all five of them shared. I felt an ache in my heart once I caught the eyes of the boy’s mother. I gave her a small nod to tell her everything would be alright. My father did not share my sentiment, his gaze never wavering from his target. His black magic never allowed him the same empathy as I. No one in my household could feel the way I could.

Musical Mondays: Holiday Edition

Greetings and salutations, 

I know, I know, I’ve been gone. I have a draft for a normal Musical Monday that I am currently working on right now, but in the spirit of the holidays, I had to put that off so I could find some new Christmas songs for you guys (How do you like the festive banner?). That added on to the wait for the next official update, but I had a big move happen recently and I am also catching up on work. My new school did not have an old class of mine, so I had to catch up on all of the notes, classwork, and tests in time for our grades to get put in. I have been pulling my hair out ever since. I do apologize for being gone, though. I don’t like being stressed out and not have the energy to write. Good news, I am back in action and all caught up so that’s fun. I am still working on my upcoming Jimin fic, and I also had a new idea pop up in light of a certain musical that I adore (wink, wink) and am in the process of mapping that out. Sadly, my Yoonmin AU is on a hiatus for the time being. It’s a decision I have made based on the fact that every time I try to write anything for it I absolutely hate it. 

Now back to our semi-regularly scheduled program. Happy holidays! Tis’ the season, my dudes. 2020 is upon us, and for those who celebrate it, Christmas is only a few days away. I myself do love the holidays, and even though I have only had the pleasure of gifts for the last couple of years, it has made its way into my Grinch sized heart. Now, while I was searching far and wide for some Christmas music fitting for our ever-growing playlist, I realized that there’s not enough chilled out holiday music. Of course, we have Lo-Fi, but I’m talking about more than just an instrumental (I love Lo-Fi Christmas tracks, don’t get me wrong). So, I went on a journey to find some mellow holiday music. You have no idea how hard it was for me to compile this list and not include All Time Low- seriously. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. 

Now, not all of these are centered around Christmas, though I did have a basic criterion for what songs qualified. It had to fit into at least one of the following categories:

Christmas themed

About winter or cold weather

Talk of gifting someone something

A remix of a Christmas beat

Cover of old Christmas song

It was a very broad spectrum, but it was much harder than you would think. I was also limiting myself to 10 songs, I could not use the same artist twice, and none of them could be anywhere close to the original songs that we know and love. For example, Baby It’s Cold Outside, recently covered by Kelly Clarkson and John Lennon was off-limits. Not only did I not really like, the lyrics were different, but it was far too similar to the original to add it to my list. 

Another thing that’s different this time ‘round is the rating system! Usually, the rating system we use on Musical Mondays is based on how upbeat or calming the music is with 5 being the most upbeat and 1 being the most chill. Not this time. For our holiday update, we will be rating them from 1-5, with 5 being the most Christmas-y and 1 being the least. And without further ado, here’s our Musical Monday: Holiday Edition!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best,

Lex

I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Joy Williams (5)

“Please have snow and mistletoe.”

Come Out and Play, Billie Eilish (2)

Wake up and smell the coffee. Is your cup half full or empty?”

Snowman, Sia (5)

“A puddle of water can’t hold me close, baby.”

Calypso, Jackson Lundy (1)

“Honey shall I bring you flowers. Would it brighten up your day?”

Like Someone in Love, Bruno Major (1)

“Little missy bounds for hours. Well, just name a time, all day.”

The Perfect Christmas, Daniela Andrade (5)

“ But what’s it all worth when darling you look good just being you.”

The Ice is Getting Thinner, Death Cab for Cutie (3)

“ And when spring arrived we were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea, and nothing was left for you and me.”

Chilly, NIKI (1)

“ When she ain’t around, is your bed cold without me?”

You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch, Tyler the Creator (5)

“ I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!”

Naughty or Nutz, MF Doom (4)

“ Why spend Christmas Eve waiting for some extra-fat white dude to come busting through the ceiling when you could spend Christmas Eve with yours truly, the super-villain: Doom!”

Musical Mondays

Greetings and Salutations,

It is the first official Musical Monday! Woo-hoo! Cue the confetti and party music (Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus is acceptable). Now, my layout will be a bit odd, so I’m going to take the time to explain it this one time and that’ll be all as far as the actual posts themselves go, however, you are always welcome to message me if you’re confused about anything! 

I will first name and give a brief description (serious Lex mode) of every artist mentioned as well as their social media information in case you would like to see more of them. After that, I will talk about specific songs since a lot of you probably are not looking for complete albums. I will then go into recent album drops, or my absolute favorites, that I loved. This is when I drop the “serious Lex mode” and act a little silly while gushing about the music. I will not be doing this for individual songs, instead, I will be doing a rating system! 

The ratings will range from 1 through 5, with 1 being the most calming and 5 being more upbeat and fun. I think this will be easier when categorizing the individual songs themselves just so I don’t end up writing an essay about every song on the list. Plus, the artist summary should clue you in on their general aesthetic and groove. 

I will note, however, that some artists will either have shorter bios or none at all for the simple fact that I cannot find any information outside of their music. For example, in this post, we have a SoundCloud artist that is very small and does not have the same fanbase as the others on the list do. I just briefly stated that he does not have much information about him, but I know he is releasing an EP soon. Now with all the boring stuff out of the way, lets jam out. 

Some of these artists have completely taken over my playlist, and I have no idea how I survived without them before, while others have held a special place in my heart for years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and please go send them some love by clicking on the links to their social media accounts.

Thanks

Lex

           “It’s been a week from hell, I lost my job at 5 Guys. My girl just kicked me out, she says I’m lame.”

To Me, Alina Baraz (1)

          “Here’s to good music, great sex, little time to feel alive; little time to get it right.”

777, LilBootyCall (feat. Cuco, KWE$T) (3)

          “I had other girls, but I dropped ‘em all when you kissed me and you held me; now I got it all.”

Challenge, Lolo Zouai (4)

          “When I have it, I’m dramatic, tell me what did you expect?” 

Virgin, Flower Face (1)

           “ You hold my skin so softly, press into my bones. I am the one who found you here when you were alone.”

He’s My Baby, Noire (1)

          “Don’t know if you’ll stay. It’s all good if you do.”

On Chill, Wale (feat. Jeremiah) (2)

           “We’ve been on a tragedy for months. Why can’t you agree with me for once? Maybe we can be on chill tonight. Maybe I can give you chills.”

Starstruck, Xavier Gibson (2)

          “Maybe we could watch a movie and talk about our day.”

Albums:

Cry, Cigarettes After Sex

Tracks:

Don’t Let Me Go

          “I was dumb to let you drift away, and though I guess it had to come to an end, no one else could have the love we shared.”

Heavenly

          “'Cause this is where I wanna be, where it's so sweet and heavenly.”  

You’re the Only Good Thing in My Life

            “ Shouldn't have a care left in the world. Naked, tanning by the swimming pool.”

Touch

           “ And I watched you do a line that you spread out on the table.”

Hentai

           “I told you about the night that we first made love about a girl who as soon as she made you cum would show you the future and tell you your fortune.”

Cry

          “Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now.”

Falling in Love

          “When I hold you close to me I could always see a house by the ocean.”

Pure

          “When you walk in the room in a white bodysuit, and I say, ‘Take it off.’”

This album. This. Fucking. Album. It’s heavenly. I always love Cigarettes After Sex, but this album definitely takes the cake. One of my favorite albums that have dropped this year. It sounds like all of their other music, but that’s what I adore about this band. The dreamy, underwater vibe that they give is perfect for when I’m painting or chilling out in my room. It’s so nice. I think my favorites are Hentai, Kiss It Off Me, and Pure. I highly recommend. Make sure to check this one out if you’re looking for something relaxing to jam out to when you’re studying or doing homework. Also really nice for car rides in the middle of the night.

SUGA, Kyle Dion

On Fire

           “Colombiana, bring my cake up by the pound. Watch the sky with you as it crumbles down.”

Hands to Yourself

           “I got fangs, I got hands, you got plans to put me on my back.”

Spend It

           “My coat white like the '70s gotta keep it clean.”

Not All the Way

          “Sneak in Heaven through the side door.”

Cherry Blossom

          “If you're a tide, I'm the moon. Everything I make's for you.”

Brown

          “Dripping chocolate all over the bedroom. Drowning in your softly spoken sounds.”

Fly Little Bird

          “If you want it, you gon' have to let me take care of everything And anything you want's with me.”

Glass House

          “If you want it, you gon' have to let me take care of everything and anything you want's with me.”

69 Camaro

          “'69 Camaro, put it into drive, got it painted red and white.”

Teach Me

          “It's like I keep a tint on my window, 'fraid what you'll see if you ever look inside.”

No Strings

          “I'm all dried out, maybe it's by design.”

White

          “Showed me how to live and love, 'cause I can't be the shy type.”

Somethings We Can’t Do

          “Kicked out my bed, left me on read; truth is I'm dead to you.”

Bella might be Edward’s “own personal brand of heroin”, but Kyle Dion is mine. This man is so fine, and his voice is gorgeous. I adore this album. Love, love, love. It’s a fresh mix of R&B with some funk influence that just blends together effortlessly. I can’t get enough of it. Honestly, I just can’t get enough of him. He’s walking art, or if I can quote Alina Baraz for a moment, “walking poetry.” SUGA is my favorite album by Kyle, but I would recommend all of his music. My favorites on the album are Brown, 69 Camaro, and White.

k-12, Melanie Martinez

Wheels on the Bus

           “And I'm trying not to look across the aisle, 'cause Maya's letting Dan put his hand up her skirt, and she’s got her hand down his pants.”

Class Fight

          “Her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody. We were in the playground, things were getting muddy.”

The Principal

          “It’s not just me, it's everybody who thinks that you're fucking ugly when you come and hurt us just so you can get your money.”

Show & Tell

          “Like I'm a product to society art don't sell unless you've fucked every authority.”

Nurse’s Office

          “I'm pale as the loose-leaf paper they grow from hollowing out all my lungs in the snow.”

Drama Club

          “I'ma take a bow so you can kiss my ass.”

Strawberry Shortcake

          “Instead of making me feel bad for the body I got, just teach him to keep it in his pants and tell him to stop.”

Lunchbox Friends

          “Come to my house, let’s die together. Friendship that will last forever.”

Orange Juice

          “I wish I could give you my set of eyes, 'cause I know your eyes ain't working.”

Detention

          “Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention? I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension.”

Teacher’s Pet

          “Caught the teacher giving his eyes to a student, pouty, pretty cute, and she bit her lip back to him. Chewing on her nails and her pens while she's dreaming of him, and he's fucking in sin.”

High School Sweetheart

         “Could you be my first time? Eat me up like apple pie. Make me not wanna die.”

Recess

          “Don't let them fuck you, honey.”

The queen has returned! I know I’m late on gushing about this masterpiece, but in my defense, I was completely radio silent when it dropped, and I wanted it to be a part of my Musical Mondays’ saga. Putting the movie aside, which is a masterpiece all on its own and if you have not watched it you should. It’s on YouTube. It’s gorgeous, and Melanie looks stunning the entire way through. The music is to die for. The aesthetic is Melanie’s usual, but there’s something about this album that I love more than Crybaby. I like the storyline, and it’s something we can all relate to. If you’ve ever been to school, you know the feelings and emotions that she conveys throughout the album. My favorites are Drama Club, Strawberry Shortcake, Detention, Orange Juice, and High School Sweetheart. All-in-all, K-12 slaps and you should 100% go and listen.

High Highs to Low Lows, Lolo Zouaï

High Highs to Low Lows

          “Fake gold in my hoops, real rips in my pants, they think it’s all Gucci, but it’s 99 cents, I swear.”

Moi

          “Hit ‘em with the bilingual.”

Chevy Impala

          “Everybody lookin’ at my ride. All the boys they wanna come inside.”

Caffeine

          “Shake it on the floor, make it explode. Wanna see that soda pop pop, overflow.”

Ride

          “Watch me fuck it up, when I ride.

Here to Stay

          “ Pulls me closer like a siren, and the lows come crashing down.”

Look at Us

          “Big talk, lip gloss; put your mouth on it.”

Desert Rose

          “Love me like a desert rose.”

Summers in Vegas

          “My lucky days were when you would take me to your pizza place in the morning. Pay me in fresh dough and Mexican Coke, or take me home.”

Out the Bottle

          “Look at me now, primadonna. Off the runway like a model.”

Blue

          “I dyed my hair blue to fit my mood.”

Beaucoup

           “Oui je t'aime beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup.”

Lolo Zouaï is a bad bitch and you can’t kill her. I first discovered her a few years ago when High Highs to Low Lows first dropped, and I was waiting for this to drop ever since. I can honestly say this album is in my top 10, and a few of these songs are some of my favorites. The change in tone, the different styles, the lyrics, the way each song can completely change your mood; just everything is stunning. My favorites are High Highs Low Lows, Chevy Impala, Ride, and Desert Rose. Desert Rose is one of my favorite songs of all time. She’s just phenomenal. Great album, great artist, and you need to listen to this.

Good evening my fellow sinners,

How is everyone? So, I know this sounds really weird, but even though Dirty Dancing only has a few reblogs and I’ve gained 5 followers since posting it, that’s still super crazy to me. I mean, the last time I got any sort of positive feedback on ANYTHING that I’ve written was a really, really, Really (did I say how really this was?) horrible 5 Seconds of Summer fic I wrote when I was in 7th grade on Wattpad. I would spend at least three hours writing on my rinky-dink, off-brand tablet that was like $35 at Wal-Mart, and I had over 200 reads and a good handful of regular readers. Alas to say, I am super embarrassed about it, and I can’t stand to go back and read it. 

That being said, I know it’s not a lot. I’ve been on Tumblr for over a year now (my main account is where I reblog different fics that I really like or am interested in reading, but I wanted to make my writing blog a bit more organized) and I’ve finally mustered up the courage to post something. I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time out to read the first part of my new story and liking/reblogging it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Now, I have some different ideas about what I can post in between each update: 

I could do a weekly music recommendation where each week I compile new music finds that I really loved and enjoyed. Music for some reason has always made me feel like I know a person, so if that is something that you are interested in, definitely message me or just like this post. 

I could also recommend some of my favorite books and give a basic rundown of why I loved them so much, and I can also throw in some books that I absolutely loathe. I know, I’m getting into murky water with that one, but I still think it could be fun. 

I could make a small list of books that I am interested in buying and talk about why I find it interesting or worth the money, and it can possibly help you find a new book or tell me if it’s worth it or not. I love talking about literature and hearing about the kinds of things others are into. I will let this be the one and only warning: I love very disturbing, scary, or otherwise morbid novels. I find them extremely thought-provoking and it makes my brain work hard. However, I am a softie for a good fantasy novel and I have a secret crush on Rainbow Rowell books (you didn’t hear it from me). I’m not the biggest fan of romance novels, but I do like to keep an open mind about things, so if you can persuade me, I might pick up a copy. 

I could have a specific day of the week where I answer questions from you guys and we can have a nice interaction and just chill out and talk about music, the boys, how stories are coming along, update days, books; basically any and everything under the sun! During this time I can maybe slip in some extra song recommendations or books that I haven’t gotten around to talking about in a post just yet to give everyone something extra while I’m getting my life in order. I love talking to people online, and I would really love to have a connection with my followers. I want to be friends, even if only through playing 20 questions once a week and responding to messages you send my way.

I should probably hold off on posting this until I get some more followers, but I think I want to post it now. 5 is enough for me. 5 people cared enough to follow me, and that makes me so happy. Thank you again. I really do appreciate it so much. I’m always open for a chat. If you want someone to talk to when you’re bored, or sad, or angry, or fangirl, or just to talk… just send a message and I’ll get back as soon as I can. I hope our little group can grow and we can all get along and be antisocial bookworms obsessed with BTS together.

Good evening darling, 

Wow, it has been a while, hasn’t it? I have had so many changes in my life, different directions I’ve been pulled in, and I would like to say I am so sorry for being MIA for the past two months! I can go into more detail later, but as of now everything is less hectic, but still just as stressful as before. Too much. It is all too much. I just want everyone to know that I am back. I am happier-ish. I am so ready to get back into my writing mode and to just stop focusing on my personal life for a while. I am currently working on a new AU! I am still mapping things out, and I have started the basic writing process for it. Dirty Dancing is still in the works, but for the time being it is on a semi-hiatus. I am just trying to recover from the stress in my life, and Dirty Dancing is NOT the lightest and fluffiest fic to work on. I am currently trying out a fantasy AU, and man is it hard. How Shanna from @kpopfanfictrash​ does it is beyond me. Bless that woman and all of the amazing work she puts into her blog. The past few drabbles and collabs she has posted have really helped me escape from the crappy stuff going on, so thanks sis, I appreciate it. Have a Yoongi heart in honor of posting THE Halloween fic of the year.

Now, back to what I came here to discuss in the first place.

I am going to compile all of the new music, artists, and albums I have either stumbled across or have been dropped by some of my favorites since I have been gone. I am going to start doing this every Monday! It’ll be Musical Mondays with Lex, and it should be a good time. I have SO much music, and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I have the BEST playlist out of all of my friends. I think the only person who can compete with me is my good friend/ex-girlfriend McKenna, but we listen to the same artists so we have a lot of overlap. 

Also, I have read a few new books while I was away. None of them were super fantastic or anything, but they were all well written and lovely in their own way. Mind you I’m comparing Marie Lu to Stephan King and George Orwell, which are two completely different levels of writing. I love Marie Lu, but she isn’t my usual read. However, the two books I read by her within these past two months were wonderful. King just writes my preferred genre, and Orwell wrote my favorite book of all time. All-in-all, I have a good amount of fresh fiction in my brain that I would love to jump into and will try to do this at least once a month. Possibly every two weeks. It just depends on how much I read and if I think it’s worth talking about. 

With all that being said, I am back and I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. Thank you all for being so patient with me, and I promise you I will never be gone this long again. Let me know what’s been going on with you guys! How are you? What have you been up to? How’s life treating you? Anything exciting? I’d love to hear about it!

Signing off,

Lex
