Happy April 💮 I read a decent amount of stories this month that I'm really excited to share my thoughts on! I seemed to be on some entertainment industry kick, given that 4 out of the 6 books I read have something to do with the entertainment industry. Some of these books I enjoyed more than others, but overall I thought it was a solid reading month for me. It's been a while since I've been consistent with reading, so 2 books and 4 mangas is a win in my books.
I really can't believe it's a few months into 2023! I honestly haven't had too much time to read a lot, so these past few months I've mostly been reading manga. Manga has always been something quick and easy to read, especially when the recent days have been really tiring with work and other obligations.
However, I do miss writing a lot! I thought I'd stave off my craving for writing by writing about what I've been reading recently. But one day I will go back to actually writing :")
Buckle up, it's going to be a long one. It's been way too long since I've written about what I've been reading, mostly because I haven't had too much time to read, let alone review what I've read.
I know I've recently posted a January - June Recap, but I also wanted to give you my thoughts on the books that went unmentioned. Some of these reviews will be repeats of that previous post, so if you'd like an in-depth rambling on some of my favorite books, short stories, poetry collections, fanfics, songs, and more, check out that post!
It has been a long while since I've made one of these! 2022 has been a busy year so far, and I can't believe it's practically halfway over. In the past 6 months, I honestly haven't read very many books, but I have done a variety of other things. I wrapped up university in the past month, and I am now a university graduate with a B.S. in Biochemistry! I've also spent the past 6 months discovering and deepening my love for creative writing, and also learning for the first time what creative writing entails. I never thought I could be a writer of any sort, but here I am taking creative writing workshops and learning from some of the most insightful writers ever. I also got COVID during the past month, which definitely wasn't fun, but I've since recovered well, just in time to not miss my very last week of undergrad classes.
So, yes, I haven't read very many books, per se, in the past 6 months, but I have been reading. I've also been listening to new music (read: not just Taylor Swift) and discovering a love for poetry as well. I've never really been much of a poetry person, but some great collections have me rethinking this. Maybe I can become a poetry person. And it wouldn't be me if I wasn't reading some fanfiction, and I have some really great recs for you all. I've, of course, been reading manga as well and watching anime whenever I have free time, and I've come across some really great ones that I'm excited to recommend to you all as well!
