Hope you all enjoy it 🥺 I'm gonna do one full video of a reaction to it since I read it all without taking breaks to film. I have SOO many feelings. And then I have one more video essay for ya'll on it!

Also I will be doing a FULL REACTION series to A Court of Wings and Ruin. 4 videos cuz its a LONG book (699 pages!!)<...

NEW SHORT: Seeing The Old Library IN PERSON!

I truly wanted to enjoy myself on this trip and take everything in. So as much as I wanted to vlog, I settled on shorts that capture the beauty of the places I saw! If you're in or near Ireland def go check out The Old Library. In Oct 2023 it will close for restoration for at least 3 years!!

There will also be a new video this weekend! And for anyone who likes reading with me I will have a review coming for these Goosebumps books (in this order):

Night of the Living Dummy

Two NEW Videos are COMING!!

Thank you for your patience everyone! I was running behind to get the last Acotar Reaction done before going out of town, and then literally the night before leaving our little kitty Snape had an emergency, rushed him to the ER (he got meds and is doing much better & with a fabulous kitty sitter <3) so the bf and I got no sleep on our flight to Dublin and thus I got a terrible cold while in Dublin and finally on Saturday I felt myself again. We are currently in Edinburgh now and I abou...

Video Update

Hey! It’s been a crazy 24 hours. Not much sleep, had a pet emergency and am now at the airport waiting to catch our flight to Dublin! I’ll have the last ACOTAR reaction for ya’ll this week but not sure when. Thank you so much for your patience!

Why Taylor Wrote "Carolina"

Happy Thursday! It's been a long week but we've almost made it! Here is my next video. I hope ya'll enjoy it :) I'm a big swiftie fan but I could also not put down this book! It's a beautiful coming of age story, murder mystery, love letter to nature, and commentary about growing up in isolation, being on the outside and rejected. (spoilers)

Next on the docket will be another Way of Kings Reaction. My goal is to get that out next week. I am busy reading over (when not editing LOL) to pr...

Surviving The Way of Kings | Reaction Series #1

Working on a new series! I'll be reacting to The Way of Kings in a series of videos. It's a long book ya'll. 1000 pages. I'm not quite sure why I did this to myself, but here we go! Also, there are spoilers. It's the only way for me to get through this book. So apologies if you plan on reading it. But idk, sometimes spoilers can be helpful if you're on the fence. Otherwise if you're like "I'm not touching that book!" then this is perfect for you lol. You get all the ...
