i wanted to ask how you feel about the new descendants movies? and how you would have spun it in your own way?

i haven't watched the new descendants movies! they were things i watched with my late best friend drew, and the idea of watching them without him really just sort of.. bums be out.

mid year book freak out tag

I’ve read 64 books so far this year! I like to look back on my last half of the year and see what kind of books have stuck with me! I stole these questions from YouTube. Here are my answers from 2025.

best book you’ve read so far in 2026? i've read a few i really loved! maybe pachinko!

best sequel you’ve read so far in 2026? so far maybe everyone in this bank is a thief, but i have high hopes for off the reservation.

new release you haven’t read yet, but want to: last contract of isako!

most anticipated release for the second half of the year: maybe daggerbound for fantasy and aside from the stephen graham jones, perhaps the exodontists or immaculate deception for horror?

biggest surprise: wings of starlight is a disney published book about clarion from the pixie hollow series and i was genuinely surprised by how GOOD it was! i think the author did an incredible job of characterizing clarion- it's so hard to write an elegant, regal queen as a main character and it was absolutely great.

favorite new author (debut or new to you): i really really loved the fairy tale, purple prose of roshani chokshi's swan's daughter- can't believe i've never read from her before!

newest favorite character: maybe sorcha from daughter of the forest?

book that made you cry: i haven't cried yet from a book! i don't read a lot of tear jerkers.

book that made you happy: i LOVED jane austen's bookshelf! i love learning about women.

most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received): i haven't read it yet, but the unicorn hunters was one of my aardvark book club picks this year and i think it's stunnin'!

what books do you need to read by the end of the year? i really want to read lund in the mist and lolly willowes this year.
