Candy Bunny Reader

  The title says it all. Here's why: the majority of the books I read and talk about on here are actually borrowed from my local library. A very small fraction of the books I read are books I actually own a copy of myself.  I don't buy any books unless I've read it before at the library, loved it, and I want to buy my own copy. Or maybe I just couldn't find it at all at my local library. Other scenarios where I have my own copy of some book include: The book was already in my house, bought by and owned by someone else (my parents, a family friend, etc.) and then they gave it to me.  It was gifted to me, so someone else bought it with their own money. I or my parents bought the book a long time ago when I was a child. Maybe I've already read it several times and kept it all these years, or I never read it as a kid but I'm glad I kept it because one day I might change my mind and want to read it.  I needed my own copy of the book to take notes and/or annotations f...

  Another post of my art! Another painting. You might or might not remember in my last artwork post I mentioned I took watercolor classes with a local artist in my area named Ryan Fox (@rfox90 on Instagram). The very first thing I painted in that class was this picture of these apples! I am very proud of this painting because I applied new watercolor techniques for the first time while painting it, like making some areas lighter to create shine (as you can see on the apples) and blending colors in the background (another way to shade, or just to have an interesting background that's not just one solid color).  I can't wait to show off more of my paintings! Are any of you also artists?

As of right now I do not use Goodreads, but that might change in the future. However, I still do use the star-rating system to rate books that I read. Here is how I rate my books! 5 ⭐s-New favorite book! Highly recommend it. This means the story was beautifully well written, the story resonated with me very deeply, it had everything I love seeing in books. The book was so wonderful words can't even express it. Go read it right now. It also doubles as I now have a new favorite author. 4  ⭐s-I enjoyed the book. I liked it, but not to the point where I loved it. I did still have some problems with it. Either minor problematic elements or just things I found annoying/could've been done better. But overall it was still a good book and I recommend it! Just with a few small caveats.  3  ⭐s-I didn't like this book, but I didn't dislike it either. It's in this weird zone where I'm not sure whether or not I liked it. The book did a lot of things I liked, but it equally di...
