I'm still around, and also reading things!

Hey everyone! I promise, I'm still alive, and I'm working on commissions all this weekend, so there should be some more art from me, soon. (And also some more writing, for those of you who have my writing journal friended.) I'm still having health problems, and I am unfortunately being avoidant, but I am trying to work through it! I hope everyone's been doing well lately.

As an attempt to write and communicate more, I am going to write some reviews of media I have consumed lately! These reviews are completely based on my opinion, are not in the least professional or in-depth, and may contain spoilers, so be warned!

Lately, I've been in such a reading mood, it's as if I can't stop reading! This, as I have mentioned in the past, leads me to read all through the night, until I collapse in defeat, while weakly shaking my fist, crying "Damn you, book!" (Note: I may be exaggerating. But not much.) Cursed book addiction!

I am not going to include in my reviews my rereads of Watership Down and The Hobbit, because those books are awesome; it just stands to reason.
