January was A MONTH for me. I refuse to go into detail, but it literally got worse than 2020, which, frankly, I thought was hard to accomplish. Unfortunately, most of February and possibly March will be tainted with struggle as well. I only have my fingers crossed for the summer, because there is a limit to my patience, but it is what it is for now. I just genuinely hope you all had a better time.
I also dragged myself through only two books, so, I didn’t read that much, but that’s for now not a real worry:
- Don’t Tell a Soul by Kirsten Miller (3 stars)
- My Year Abroad by Chang-rae Lee (2 stars)
As per usual, click on the covers to get re-directed to Goodreads, where you are always welcome to add me as a reading buddy! My own reviews you’re able to find by clicking on the titles in the list above if there are posts for them.
I don’t really know what to tell you about the month, because the highs were high and the lows were low. I am so very grateful to have friends and family who keep checking in with me, because sometimes things just aren’t easy and even if we all know we can’t actually do anything about it, venting helps. I am not going to unload here as well, but know that everyone who comes and visits this blog and gives me something to do and distract myself with has my utmost gratitude.
After a long, long pause from writing, I have finally returned to that world again too. I want to keep the WIP close to my heart, but I have jotted down more than 7K words and will be rewriting the ones I have before continuing on. It’s like I am creating a very detailed outline for what I want the readers to know, just to take it all apart and write into something that isn’t just a plain info dump.
MY FAVOURITE THINGS
WandaVision. I have waited so long. I have anticipated that show for what feels like eternity, because Wanda Maximoff has always been one of my favourite characters and she’s finally getting the attention she deserves. I adore that even non-Marvel fans are checking out the show and letting themselves get dragged into the madness. Below you will find the list of reviews I have written for the series so far and I will continue to post weekly, spoiler-filled posts as the remaining episodes release.
Duskwood finally released the new episode!! I have talked about the mobile game before (check it out here) and it’s still one of my favourite things. I feel like this episode wasn’t as intricate as the previous one, but it once again left on a massive cruel cliffhanger. Here’s to hoping it won’t take another two months until we get new content.
Life and Other Disasters 
Wanda Vision as grabbed me too. Good thing we can still find things to enjoy.

I love your WandaVision drawing! You should do all the characters and sell them on Etsy.
I’m sorry things aren’t going well lately. If there’s anything I can do, let me know.

Thanks, but since I have no intention of getting sued by Disney, I won’t be selling any fanart haha

Hey, Kat! (It’s always so funny to me when I write this because it feels like I’m talking to myself haha 😂) I’m so sorry that you had a rough month and that the months to come are going to be difficult as well. I don’t know if you are a religious person or not, but I hope you don’t mind if I keep you in my prayers! Also, I ADORE that picture of Wanda that you drew! Me and my husband have been watching the show every week as it releases and I love reading your weekly reviews on each episode!

Also, I am happy to hear you like my Wanda drawing and that you are enjoying the show. I was so relieved when it turned out to be as great as I had hoped it would be.
