Crohn's at 23

I'm looking to document my journey with Crohn's Disease in a digestible manner and make connections along way!

💖 I’m falling in love with my February TBR 💖

📖 Haunting the Hunter*

📖First Time Caller**

📖???***

*I am sooooo close to finishing Haunting the Hunter and let me tell you… it’s not what I was expecting at all…

**First-Time Caller is based in the lovely city of Baltimore, and felt like an appropriate read for the upcoming holiday 🥰

*** My third book this month is a surprise, blind-date-with-a-book romance I picked up a couple years ago at my favorite local bookshop, , in Frederick, Maryland 🦎

Let’s find out whats in store, together 📚

❄️ Snow Day ❄️

01/02/2026

As we close the back cover of 2025, I wanted to pause in the quiet in-between moment that is New Years Day and reflect. So I took a little time to look back over my 2025 reads, finding it akin to revisiting well-loved rooms in a childhood home.

This year, I devoured 23 books, three more than the goal I set for myself, adding up to an impressive 11,584 pages spent wandering other worlds.

My shortest read was Hallowpeen, a delightfully ridiculous 113 pages, while the longest was Alchemised, a soul-crushing 1,030-page journey that earned its weight in heartbreak.

If I had to choose just three standouts from the year, I’d say the stories that lingered with me the longest were:

📖 The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig

📖 Lights Out by Navessa Allen

📖 Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

As I step into 2026, I’m feeling grateful and excited. I can’t wait to set new goals, chase new milestones, and crack open the covers of unfamiliar worlds waiting just ahead.

Here’s to more late nights, dog-eared pages, and stories that feel like home.

My last book of 2025!!! (And just in time too 😅)

It took me a while, but I finally finished Alchemised🥳

This book had a delicious Romeo and Juliet type slow burn romance, filled with obsession and yearning that any book girl craves.

I really enjoyed this book for its world building and political intrigue. It’s a great depiction of how a government can topple itself through systemic oppression and greed.

It’s gonna be a very ambitious December for my TBR 😅

📖Alchemised by Sen Lin Yu

📖Sentient Claus by Holly Wilde

📖He Knows When You’re Awake by Alta Hensley

📖The Primal of Blood and Bone by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I am so close to finishing Alchemised, and I look forward to crushing that by the end of the week.

Sentient Claus and He Knows When You’re Dead Awake are… palette cleansers and podcast fuel 🙃 The Primal of Blood and Bone… well, a future reel will explain that 🧄

📖 Her Soul to Take
📖 Enchantra
📖 Emberclaw
📖 Haunting Adeline

11/05/2025

As you already know, up next on the reading list is Alchemised by .

I’m excited about this one, but a little nervous about the length. It’s one of the longest books I’ll have read, so it’ll be an adventure for sure.

What’s next on your list?

“‘Please let me find my way back to you, Arcady.’” -Emberclaw by L. R. Lam

Emotional and raw, Emberclaw follows Arcady as they navigate school and seek to clear their family’s name. At the same time, Arcady found themselves working to rebuild trust with Everen, the dragon whom Arcady banished back across the veil.

As the two rebuild their connection, they find themselves fight to save not just each other but also both of their worlds.

This book jumps right into the action, full of huge twists and turns along the way. It was a much easier read than Dragonfall, as less world building is needed to understand whats happening (the summary of Dragonfall at the beginning of Emberclaw helps too).

Crying my way into November because I finished October with only 50 pages left in Emberclaw😭

Oh well… I guess it happens sometimes…

Anyways, only two books on the TBR this month:

📖Emberclaw by L. R. Lam

📖Alchemised by Sen Lin Yu

What’s on your TBR?

10/28/2025

We’ve already had two bonus books this month… think I can squeeze in a third? 📖

Up next is Emberclaw by L. R. Lam.

10/27/2025

“‘Shadows can only be seen in the presence of light,’ he told her, the words agonized. ‘I worry that when you leave, there will be no one left to see me.’” - Enchantra by Kaylie Smith

I took a step back into paranormal romance with this one… just in time for Halloween, too!

Enchantra takes a step back into the world of the Grimm sisters, but this time the focus is on Genevieve - a woman on a mission to learn more about her mothers mysterious past. Unknowingly, she forces her way into a game filled with murder.

To survive, she has to partner up with Rowin, a man she is certain wants nothing to do with her. Rude, abrasive, and secretive, Rowin is difficult to deal with at best.

Will the two make it out alive, or die trying? Guess you’ll have to read to find out…
