This vlog will encompass my thoughts on my reads of November, a Yarnie Update, and the opening of my first Advent Yarn Calendar packet from the 31 Days of Haunted Mansion Residents Yarn Advent Calendar from Fan Girl Fibers. ~Mentions~ My Happy Marriage Volume 5 by Akumi Agitogi The Detective is Already Dead by nigozyu and illustrated by Umibouzu Rainbow Ring by Stephen West Catherine's Wheel Throw by Shari White

Light Novel: My Thoughts on The Haunted Bookstore - Gateway to a Parallel Universe (Light Novel), Vol. 1

Image
The Haunted Bookstore - Gateway to a Parallel Universe (Light Novel), Vol. 1 by Shinobumaru My rating: 4 of 5 stars This one was slow to start for me and not what I was expecting in the beginning. Towards the end, it got much better for me. It's definitely on the lower end of 4 stars for me but I'm looking forward to continuing with this series. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on The Fear Zone 2

Image
The Fear Zone 2 by K.R. Alexander My rating: 3 of 5 stars I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first but it was pretty close. There was a lot of discourse between our group, but I did enjoy how the situation affected a wider group of people. I have enjoyed all the books I've read by this author so far and though I will probably not read this one again, I'm looking forward to other books they have written. View all my reviews
