If you weren't able to make it to the live reading sprints on Sunday, the replay is officially up. ☕️
We did a solid three and a half hours of 25-minute focus sessions, and it was exactly the kind of quiet accountability I needed to actually make progress on A Court of Silver Flames. If you have a lot going on and just need a "safe-space" bestie to read with while you're getting things done, grab your book and join in.
No pressure to watch the whole thing at once—just hop in whenever you need a focus boost.

Did you catch yesterday’s new vlog? 🕯️ I finally sat down to share my thoughts on that 12 + 12 reading challenge.
Honestly, trying to "exist gently" for 24 hours was such a different experience than I expected. Between the internal battle to stay focused and the literal brain mush that hit on Day Two, it was... a lot. But I’m so glad I did it.
If you need some quiet company or a reality check on those "aesthetic" reading challenges, the video is waiting for you. Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever tried to unplug like this and if your brain fought you as much as mine did.
