To think, that for someone who loves vampire media, I still haven’t read this! One of my priority reads for this year.
I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.
*coughs* Ya'll should pre-order this book 📖🤎✨️

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚
Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚
All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed.
Please consider helping:
Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source
Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚
Here’s my Art Summary for 2024! 💜🌸✨
I mainly did a lot of work within the first few months of the year, mostly character designs. I did work on some personal illustrations and some fun fan art this year too! Not all of them could fit but here are some. ✨
I can’t stand the holiday season 😅
I created a YT channel :)
I’m still not sure if I’ll be posting anything on there, but I figured why not. Here’s my link if you’re interested. 🩵
