Using this in place of my manuscript! Just finished my first draft and did a complete read through to take down initial notes about changes and such. So excited for when my story gets shared with the world!
My thoughts in several sentences: y'all this is my first book that I've actually written a decent chunk of (minus that one fanfiction in like 3rd grade, but we don't talk about that), anddddd it's been a long journey... but I adore all these character with everything, it just takes work to get them out onto paper 🤪 because the characters on paper currently aren't the characters in my head, but I'm working on it :) I hope that this book one day will be a beacon of light to people and an encouragement to them, as well as a mesmerizing story that takes them to another world. I hope that someday all y'all will get to read it :) Onto draft two!!
Quotes ~
"He enjoyed being alone with nature. Not complete silence, but a calmer atmosphere. He listened to the signs of life all around himself. A cricket chirping a few feet away. An owl hooting in the distance. A squirrel skittering up a tree, probably ready for a good night's rest. A peaceful calm came up on Evander. He felt light and like nothing that had happened in the past week mattered. There were no thoughts crowding up his brain like he usually felt, but instead there was only a blissful peace."
"She has pushed herself over the edge of her limit. Now she knew where the edge was, so she wasn't going to fall over again. She found out how far her resolve would take her and now she needed to tone it back a bit. There was no use getting hurt."
"She wondered how it had become so easy to speak of these events, as if they hadn't happened to her. Like she viewed it from the outside. When it first happened, she could hardly think of anything else, yet her mind begged for an escape from the thoughts. she smiled at how she overcame the trauma. Maybe she could do this."
"Sometimes, Archenora thought, it's better to live in blissful ignorance than constant fear."
"Sometimes when you are drowning, your best friend is the only person who knows how to pull you out. How to get air to your lungs and your heart beating. How to teach you to dry off, and stand up to try again with renewed vigor. And they are the only person who can teach you how to smile and actually mean it."
"Failing isn't failing if you do better next time. The only failure is if you are so scared of failing that you don't try."
"The reality hit her like a blow to the head. Except it hit her heart."
"You don't need to be afraid of silence, because it's in the peace, and the quiet moments in which you can best hear the Creator's voice. And we can always trust him to catch us when we start to spiral."
"Losing your closest friend felt like your soul was being ripped in half, and each of you took a piece. She thought she understood her... until she realized that maybe she didn't understand at all."
"You're human. The Creator made you that way. Perfect wasn't His plan."
"Just because you shouldn't be worrying doesn't mean you aren't."
"Don't you forget, you are made in the image of the Creator. You are wonderfully made, and eternally loved in His eyes. Anytime you feel worthless, that's just lies whispering in your ear. But just because you hear a whisper doesn't mean you need to believe."
"Well, I've come to realize that maybe the people meant for leading are the people who never wanted to lead. Those who want to lead tend to grab hold of power too quickly and don't treat it with respect. Those who don't want it tend to shy away from it until they see the value and can respect it."

I’m using this filler for mid-century remodel by Jolene R. Whitten
It was so good. I’m pretty sure the third book is about Charlotte again. The second book is not though.
Here’s the blurb if you were curious:
Charlotte Tilian's life seems to be unraveling. She's had a stroke, she's drinking again, and she's been moved from her home into an assisted living facility. To top it off, she's receiving threatening messages. Her past as caught up with her. Then she befriends a teenage girl and her younger sister and finds they are in even greater danger than she is. Will Charlotte live up to her name and find the strength to save them all? What life-changing events will lead to renovations in each of their lives?
So for this “Filler Book”, I par took in a beta reading of a book that comes out later this year called The Bright Spot. This book was written by a good friend of mine and even though it’s still in draft form, has things that need tweaking, this story is incredible. I had fun with the read as it takes the reader on a unique and unexpected journey through a world not that different from our own. There’s so many exciting elements of this book that I can’t wait for others to finally get to read it. Oh and the setup for the next story is absolutely shocking!
Can't find the actual thing so this will do, this is based on the Manhwa "Fly me to the moon" I really liked it, but the development of their relationship seemed random, they lowk met, then immediately fell in love...like, bro, they saw each other once and went "yup, this is it, I'm in love" which was...fine but uhhh...yeah random.

“Being with you is the most meaningful thing I’ve done in this country.”
Yes, historical doctor yuri with the most magical and stunning artwork ever, please save me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The only complaint I have is that their relationship was a little flat and very one-sided in the beginning. Maybe even a bit too rushed on Maria’s side of the relationship. Towards the end was when I felt it had more depth, and I really enjoyed it. Besides that, I loved this and had a lot of fun reading it.
I had a reading slump and wanted a book that consumes no more than 2 brain cells so i read a cringy romance on wattpad idc kill me for it I NEED IT ON MY READING CHALLENGE😭 Its not on here tho so thats why i used this but yeah it served its purpose, ill go read real books now✋🏻
“Viva la Revolution” by Rizzlewrites - I’m on a kick. Hat’s off to this author and her brilliant brain. The story manages to capture one’s interest from the onset and walk willingly through the pummeling of emotions to the very end. As always, I love that this author hits a point and makes it with finesse. In this case, the painful beauty of being liberated and free to truly make choices.
