Let's Talk about Mental Health
Hello my lovely friends, it’s Jesse and it’s been a while hasn’t it? Lately, I have been absent from a lot of things, including being here with you. The reason is that I’ve been dealing with my own mental health. I tried to keep working through it, but I was struggling. It felt like I was trying to get out from under water with a cinderblock tied to my ankle, I was only sinking. I didn’t feel up…

Wrap-Up: March
March has basically just been one huge reading and Doctor Who binge. Its been ages since I last watched it so it was about time I rewatched it. I read a bunch of amazing books, re-read a couple of favourites, bought even more books and even managed a book event. Some books in this post were gifted by publishers, these are clearly marked.

just realized that ortus gets thrown head-first into the harrow nova au and simply... plays along?? this grown man finds himself in a new costume opposite the reverend daughter, who is now decidedly dressed as a cavalier, and just decides to roll with it?? "yes, harrow, but my father would kill me!" my guy, none of this is real and you know it.
leave it to ortus to be chucked into a strange alternate universe in harrow's mind palace and decide "well, i've always wanted to do improv!!"

reading for fun
reading is such a wonderful way to escape into different worlds, learn new things, and relax, but sometimes it can feel like a chore. here are some tips to help you rediscover the joy of reading:
find what interests you: start by exploring genres, authors, and topics that genuinely pique your interest. whether it's mystery, romance, fantasy, or non-fiction, there's something out there for everyone. don't be afraid to try new things and see what resonates with you.
set aside dedicated time: carve out time in your day specifically for reading, whether it's in the morning with a cup of coffee, during your lunch break, or before bed. by making it a regular part of your routine, you'll be more likely to stick with it and enjoy the process.
create a cozy reading nook: find a comfortable spot where you can curl up with a good book and immerse yourself in the story. add some soft blankets, fluffy pillows, and ambient lighting to create a cozy atmosphere that invites relaxation and focus.
ditch the guilt: let go of any pressure to read certain books or meet arbitrary reading goals. reading should be a source of pleasure, not stress. give yourself permission to read at your own pace and savor each page without worrying about finishing quickly or keeping up with others.
join a book club or reading community: connecting with others who share your love of reading can be incredibly motivating and enriching. join a book club, participate in online forums, or follow bookish accounts on social media to discover new recommendations, discuss your favorite books, and connect with fellow bookworms.
mix it up: don't feel like you have to stick to traditional novels or lengthy tomes. explore different formats, such as short stories, graphic novels, poetry collections, or audiobooks. variety is the spice of life, and experimenting with different formats can keep things fresh and exciting.
embrace the power of rereading: revisiting old favorites can be just as rewarding as discovering new ones. reread beloved books from your childhood or revisit classics that have stood the test of time. you may be surprised by how much you enjoy rediscovering familiar stories and characters.
remember, reading is all about pleasure and personal enrichment, so don't stress about meeting quotas or reading the "right" books. focus on finding joy in the process and allowing yourself to get lost in the wonderful world of words. happy reading!
