Hey! It's me, back again to talk about something besides my love  for Bernie Sanders. Anyway, the other day I started reading the new adult fantasy series: Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood  by Sarah J Maas!

I'm about  one-hundred pages in at the moment, and not fully immersed in the world yet, but  it's starting to get interesting.  To be honest, the first few chapters dragged. There was  quite a bit of info dumping, but I do understand that it's a new series, and  she's trying to get all of these new ideas and world building details across. I just felt disappointed as it wasn't the best opening. But, there is hope! I've heard the book gets better and picks up pace after the first hundred pages, so I'm glad that I'm almost at that point. 

I have read the A Court of Thorns and Roses  series by Sarah and enjoyed it, as well as 5/7 books from her series Throne of Glass, so I'm sure I will end up enjoying this book/series. It's always good to read the genre you want to write (as well as different genres to broaden your horizons), so I will devour this book and many others this year. 
​My own writing progress is slow at the moment, but the other day I did figure out a few major plot points, and feel more confident about moving forward now. I am planning to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo this April, so hopefully I can get words in. All the words! 

I'll make another post once I've  finished reading this 800 page monster. Until then, stay safe out there. Wash your fucking hands, and don't use the Coronavirus as an excuse to be a fucking racist! Bye~
