What I Read In February and March

Hey my loves, 

I'm painfully behind posting this, but it's better late than never! I had scheduling issues followed by technical issues, hence the post is only coming up now. February was a very good reading month, I got four whole books read, which means I got really ahead of my goal. March (and April) have been slower, but I've still gotten a couple of books read in both months. I'm trying to keep the reviews short and sweet, and most importantly, spoiler-free. 

Without further ado, let's get into the books:

My Current Favorite Clothing Pieces (Alternative Style Version)

Hey, my lovelies,

Today I wanted to share some a little style update with you. As you know, my style has gotten more alternative as time has gone by. I am slowly decluttering the blog a bit so not all my tragic outfits will be there for everyone to see, but you can still see bits of the very basic style I used to have. Don't get me wrong, being "basic" is not a bad thing at all, if that's where you're comfortable and feeling true to yourself, but if you're like me and pushing yourself into a box you don't really belong in, "basic" really isn't all that great.

Embracing alternative fashion (to me) is all about expressing my individuality and pushing the boundaries of traditional style. In the past few years, I've curated a collection of clothing pieces that perfectly embody my personal take on alternative fashion. These pieces have become key elements in my day-to-day look, from bold statement items to edgy wardrobe staples. If you're into alternative style and looking for fresh inspiration, keep reading to discover the clothing pieces I love in 2025.

What I Read In January

 Hey, my lovelies, 

I hope you've had a lovely January! Mine has been quite lovely, getting to hang out with friends, trying new foods (especially vegan ones thanks to a friend of mine), going to see the Gothic Modern exhibition at Ateneum, reviving this blog... All in all this feels like a nice way to start the year. And yet it's been slow enough since it's still the slumber season if you're living the more pagan/witchy lifestyle, as I'm trying to at least to some extent.

This time of the year is so good for just staying home and cozying up in a blanket and just reading. (My dear friends, if I disappear for hours or days and don't answer your messages immediately, this is more often than not why. I'm lost in a book.) And because I've been doing that quite a bit, today I wanted to share what I've read this month:

What's On My TBR List Right Now?

Hey, my loves, 

I'm back sooner than I thought - with a short and sweet post. I'm not sure how much I've ever talked about this here in the blog, but as a kid, and a teen, I used to be very into reading. I read so many books, and countless fanfics, and even wrote a couple of silly fics, and novellas and dreamed about either being an author or a book translator. Life had other plans, and while I could write a book if I just put my mind to it, I'm fairly certain the writing and publishing route won't be mine in this life. 

That being said, my love for books never died. I had many years' break from reading when I was more lost with what I wanted and who I wanted to be, but in 2023 I found my way back to it. Thanks to the internet raving about ACOTAR, I too decided to check what the fuss was about - and I got hooked. I devoured the whole ACOTAR series, found some that social media described as being "Slytherin-vibed", and remembered exactly why I had always loved reading. (And maybe mentally kicked myself for losing sight of that along the way.)

Book pile

In today's post, I really just wanted to chit-chat a bit about reading. And more specifically, share some of my TBR (To Be Read) list with you! I already told you I aim to read 25 books in 2025 in the previous post, and I know that at least some of those will be books I'm listing in this post. 

Let's be friends in IG!
