Hi everyone, hope you’re enjoying your holidays! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of 2020. So, before 2020 ends, here are my top 5 reads of this year (and some honorable mentions)!
1. “The Night Circus”- This is now one of my favorite fantasy stories. The circus was so magical and enchanting, I yearned to be part of it.
2. “The Midnight Library”- Combined with beautiful prose and an important message about life, the Midnight Library made me want to stop regretting about my actions, and live in the moment.
3. “The Starless Sea”- Another work by Erin Morgenstern! Quite different from “The Night Circus”, but still magical (filled with painted doors and hidden libraries)! The plot is so unique, I was blown away.
4. “Becoming”- This autobiography by Michelle Obama was so inspiring, and made me realize once again how she is such a passionate, kind, and beautiful human being.
5. “The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle”- This is a thriller that completely blew me away! The plot of the main character having to embody different characters to find the murder was something new. I didn’t expect the plot twist at the end, either.
Now some honorable mentions!
“With the Fire on High”- Besides the touching storyline, the descriptions of the food alone made me so hungry!
“Daisy Jones and the Six”- Because of Reid’s amazing writing, the characters were vibrant, and seemed so real.
“The Goldfinch”/”The Secret History”- These are a bit conflicting. I didn’t love it, but both left me thinking for a very long time. Also, the fact that I read “The Goldfinch” (around 800 pages!) in 2 days shows there was something about that book.
“Again, Again”- Similar to “The Midnight Library”, it made me reflect on life.
What were everyone’s favorite books of the year? Let me know!
What can I say that hasn't already been said about 2020? It wasn't a waste, but certainly a challenge. I learned a lot of lessons about patience, coping, frustration, uncertainty, and more. Lessons I didn't realize I still very much needed to learn. Amid it all, between the oceans of chaos, were islands of joy, comfort, and discovery. I increased my cooking skills, saw new hidden gems of California, and witnessed multiple astronomical events. I said "why not?", put on my wedding dress, and said my vows in our tiny apartment bedroom. I voted. I couldn't have gotten through it without my husband, my family, my friends, my work colleagues, my therapist, and a huge amount of tea, chocolate, and hot baths. To everyone I know and love, thank you for doing what's right and for staying safe. To those who experienced loss this year, my heart is with you. If you are reading this, you made it. Let's take a breath and try another round, shall we? #goodbye2020 #2020wrapup #newyearseve https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfiUNWAmW8/?igshid=1mbkuw4k2xjv6
December 31, 2020 Happy New Year’s Eve!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Here is my 2020 WrapUp According to Goodreads I’ve read 84 books this year. I read 30 of my own books. It felt really good to know that I knocked a lot off of my TBR shelf this year. There is a big difference from this year to last year. Out of all the books I read this year only 2 were disappointments. I loved everything else I read and I see myself rereading several of these. • How many books did you read in 2020?? • #bookstagram #wrapup #2020wrapup #2020 #endoftheyear #stats #bookshelf #shelfie #biblophile #bookish #bookworm #recommend #yalit #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CJedlXSg_OH/?igshid=1940g02j90rb9

Hey palsWell it’s over.. 2020 is over.. regardless of the pandemic It was a great year. I learnt a lot and improved as a person. In this process I had my favourite things in this year which I would love to share
My crystals
I bought this whole set of crystals online. They are so energised meditating with good intention with the help of these transformed our lives.
My Jaap malaMy meditation…
No one tagged me, so I'm tagging myself. Tagging @hezjena2023 as well.
I wrote a bit this year. While I technically started writing in October of 2019 all of WolfHunt was rewritten and reposted in 2020. Which means everything I have written on AO3 was written in 2020. For this I'll only be using works posted on AO3 not things written which have not been posted.
Sounds good?
Good.

New things I tried this year:
Everything really. Prior to 2020 I had only written WolfHunt so new things included:
Lavellan/Blackwall
Amell/Zevran
Anders/So many damn people
Solvelyan
Femslash (just a little at the end)
Smut
I hadn't written anything explicit in 10+ years and back in the day I focused primarily on M/M. I jumped in with both feet though and people seem to like the stuff I write so huzzah.
Fic I spent the most time on:
Long Fic:
WolfHunt for sure. Almost 60,000 words is a lot of time and I kind of go cross-eyed when I think about how much is left in the story I want to tell.
Honorable mention goes to Ill Fortune, not because of how much time I spent writing but because of the time I spent plotting out the timeline. I know where Pet, Aria, and Des are basically through their entire lives.
Short Fic:
Four's a Crowd for sure. Writing two people having sex is an arduous process for me, but four?! There are so many bodies to deal with. It became super overwhelming and I could only work in it in short bursts.
Fic I spent the least time on:
Long Fic:
Pathfinder Chronicles. I got super inspired and then it just dropped away. I'd love to write more Sara! I have a lot of fun with my slowly self redeeming fuck-up, I just need to figure out how to format it and keep motivation up.
Short Fic:
Weighting length with time (so I don't just automatically say the shortest one) I'd go with A Clever Ruse. It was goofy and comical and disconnected from anything that mattered and it just moved very quickly, even accounting for the smut part slowing me down as they do.
Favorite thing I wrote this year:
Long Fic:
Listen Closely for sure. I'd never even considering writing outside my BioWare bubble when the idea occurred to me and I fell in love with the idea. Also it's incredibly fun writing crazy people.
Short Fic:
It might be cheating but Anders in Over his Head. The series reminded me how much I love Anders, and I really do, I also love writing him. Tortured male POV is kind of my jam and Anders fits there so we'll while also being a snarky ass which makes for good banter (my favorite thing to write).
Favorite thing I read this year:
Ashamedly, I don't read much. I want to get better about it in 2021 but for now I'll just list my favorite things I did read (all on AO3:
Flemeth's New Look by attack_on_feels
How Loud Your Heart Gets by Yours_Truly_Commander_Shepard
Like Veilfire by Yours_Truly_Commander_Shepard
That Girl Is Like A Sunburn by Yours_Truly_Commander_Shepard
Eyes Wide Shut by queenofkadara
Fall Into The Tide by queenofkadara
I just realized those are like all porn. Oops.
I also started reading The Keening Blade by Arsinoe de Blassenville which is on fanfiction.net. It's very long so I haven't finished it but I am really enjoying.
Things I want to work on in 2021:
Finishing WolfHunt is a top priority. I don't feel like I can fully commit to another long form DA fic (like the world I'm building out in Ill Fortune and Harlequin Eyes) until I get that one done.
Expanding more into other fandoms. Mass Effect primarily but also exploring other fandoms that I have a lot of love for. Dragon Age is my wheel house: I know it well and I'm comfortable with it, so I'll never leave it behind but the fun I've had with Listen Closely has made me consider branching out.
MORE FEMSLASH. I love ladies and I love ladies loving ladies but I've barely touched f/f relationships. I am planning a Femslash February event so that will open the door.
I have a whole to do list to get to as well 😅
In Conclusion
I can't believe how much I accomplished in 2020. It feels like I've been writing for years, not just the one. I've found a community in fic writing that I never dreamed of, friends and support I never thought I would have. Most of all it makes me so happy. Writing is one of the few things I do for myself, my personal life very much revolves around other people, and knowing that other people find joy in the things I create is the best feeling in the world. So if you read my stuff, if you comment or give kudos:
2O2O WRAP UP! A little wrap up of some of my favourite books and blogs from this year. Also a little thank you to some of my favourite people. #2020wrapup
Wow what a year 2020 has been! It has been a crazy year and with all that being said I thought it would be a good way to end the year with a little wrap up of some of my favourite things of the year!
Firstly I have to note that we ended 2020 with 237 of you guys following the blog and I could not be more grateful. Sending Hugs to you all! I thought a good way of wrapping up the craziness that…
