Hi all!
How was everyone’s January? Mine was busy — lots of reading, watching movies, catching up with friends, and going to events. I’m quite tired, to be honest! And my February is shaping up to busy as well.

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read this book, but I’m so glad I finally got around to doing it! But I’m also confused as to why so many people call this book a romance when it’s about one man’s vendetta to completely destroy an entire family and their descendants. Highly recommend!

In January, I watched quite a few films! I started with Tick, Tick … Boom! which was incredible! Someone give Andrew Garfield an Oscar already for his performance!
I then watched three Disney Pixar films: Soul, Onward, and The Good Dinosaur. Soul was great, Onward was … okay. And The Good Dinosaur … nah. But the reason I watched all these Disney movies was because they were the last Pixar movies I had to watch until I had seen all the Pixar films!
And finally I watched The House of Gucci! This movie was wayyyyyy to long but Lady Gaga was in it, so I’m praising it as one of the best films of all time.
I also spent a lot of time this January playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus the second it came out! It’s so much fun, and I really like the open world element! It’s not as open world as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but they still do a really good job.
Looking forward: February
