Oftentimes I am a mood reader. I read when I feel like it, but lately, I’ve been feeling guilty for NOT reading. As some of you may know I’m a writer and with that comes reading. At least it should, right? My book tube channel has taken a back seat in terms of why I made the channel. I explored my options and wanted to do what was ” popular” like mukbangs and going live. Well, the going live part is fun because I get to know my subscribers and we always have a good time. But, on this day I have decided to dedicate my channel to reading and writing again. I came across a channel today and it really inspired me. Her channel name is Harriet Rosie. She’s pretty cool and I’m so inspired by her and Andy from It’s A Reading Thing. Please check them out!
My goals with reading and writing is to stop the procrastination and become more reliable and follow through on my to-do list that I’ve made for myself in my planner. If you have any other ideas on how to keep this going please feel free to let me know. I joined a Facebook group called Bookish Stars where myself and other creatives get together and talk books! I am so excited to be a part of this group and pray that I am able to be consistent in it as well.

Synopsis:
You can be wildly successful without losing your faith. In fact, your secular success will strengthen your faith if you allow it. Too often we believe that success in secular environments contradicts the core principles of faith, but the opposite is true: Your faith was designed to thrive in the secular world and to transform it as a result. You may never experience the true fulfillment you were created for until you pursue the secular ambitions in your heart.

I am going to start this book today! I am so excited because it is the last book in this series and I MUST see how Evie O’Neil is going to do with these deaths. This book is a suspense/super natural type book that is everything.
Synopsis:
After battling a supernatural sleeping sickness that early claimed two of their own, the Diviners have had enough of lies. They’re more determined than ever to uncover the mystery behind their extraordinary powers, even as they face off against an all-new terror. Out on Ward’s Island, far from the city’s bustle, sits a mental hospital haunted by the lost souls of people long forgotten–ghosts who have unusual and dangerous ties to the man in the stovepipe hat, also known as the King of Crows.
With terrible accounts of murder and possession flooding in from all over, and New York City on the verge of panic, the Diviners must band together and brave the sinister ghosts invading the asylum, a fight that will bring them fact-to-face with the King of Crows. But as the explosive secrets of the past come to light, loyalties and friendships will be tested, love will hang in the balance, and the Diviners will question all that they’ve ever known. All the while, malevolent forces gather from every corner in a battle for the very soul of a nation–a fight that could claim the Diviners themselves.
Thanks to my readers who have recently subscribed to my blog and those who continue to stay no matter when I post! You guys are awesome!
You’re definitely not alone. I’m a mood reader too and sometimes, when I’m not in the mood to read, I feel guilty about it. It’s a vicious cycle to be in but it’ll pass 😀 Most importantly, we should have fun – whatever it is that we decided to do.
Yes the cycle is much, especially when you are writing a novel, too! Happy reading.
