Back when I was working on Chara's reference sheet, I added their homemade friendship bracelet

I doubt I’m going to be able to read as much this month as I did while trapped with the plague, but I’m hoping to finish two series and do some rereading this month.

1. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green-- This is a reread about first contact with aliens. It is more about how humans react to it and how humanity can turn on each other and the different ways media can play a role in that. I’m rereading in preparation for the second book coming out in July.

2. The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen-- This is another reread for me in preparation for the next book. I had such an amazing time reading this fantasy novel the first time around. A caste system controls this world where the highest caste rules the land and the lowest is forced to handle the bodies of those who died from the plague. This book has such an interesting magic system and I’m excited for the reread.

3. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling-- Yes, for the millionth year in a row I am rereading Harry Potter. This series is such a comfort read and I love reading it through the Summer and Fall.

4. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon-- I was gifted this book literally years ago and I decided it’s probably about time to read it. All I really know is that it’s about a clairvoyant in a time when being one is dangerous. 

5. Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop-- This is a continuation of The Others series. The Others is a series an adult urban fantasy series involving shifters, vampires, and blood prophets. I enjoy that this series includes so many slice of life scenes. It’s not always about everything going to hell in a hand basket. 

6. Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop-- The final book in The Others series. I’m excited to finish it. I’ve had so much fun reading this series.

7. Burn Mark by Laura Powell-- An older fantasy novel (2012) about the dangers of being a witch in a world where witches are burned at the stake.

Recent commission for @hollowgale of a really cool d&d character. One of the things that really stand out to me is the burn mark on her neck. I guess you can’t see it all that well, but it’s in the shape of a hand.
