Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's now that time to start my Spring Equinox 2023 classes at Orilium  for the  Magical Readathon , hosted by  G. @ Book Roast .  I've followed the  Novice Path , completed the  Traveller's Key , have  Geared Up , completed the  Spring Equinox 2022 ,  completed the  August Equinox 2022 , visited Old Favour Pass , and I've also been working on the  Choose Your Own Adventure: Year In Aeldia challenge this year as well.  This Spring Equinox semester runs all of April.  Like before I've decided to continue studying for the Calling of a Scribe which sounds like a great fit for me.  That means I'll be taking five courses: Elemental Studies, Inscription, Spells & Incantations, Restoration, and Lore.  To complete each course I'll need to read one book to fulfill a specific prompt.  Keep reading to see what I plan on reading to complete my course of study for this semester: Elemental Studies - Botanic Controls: Flower On The Cover My c

          Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl .  This week's topic is a TTT Rewind to redo or update a previous topic and I've decided to feature Books I've Loved Recently With Less Than 2,000 Goodreads Ratings which I originally posted on February 19, 2019 .  Without further ado, here we go in order by the number of ratings (as of March 7th): The Third Crossing ( War of the Last Day #0) by Karim Soliman - Ratings: 13 - Honestly, this whole epic fantasy deserves a lot more love and especially this prequel. What Child Is This? ( A Sherlock Holmes Adventure #5) by Bonnie MacBird - Ratings: 396 - I love this series so much and it deserves all the attention it can get.  They feel like the original Conan Doyle stories, yet still feel fresh.  If you like Jeremy Brett and David Burke as Holmes and Watson, I have a feeling this would be right up your alley. Lucas on the Line ( Stranger Things #5) by Suyi Davies - Ratings: 528

Happy Monday everyone!  This week I'm sharing the soundtrack of RRR (2022) .  I just recently watched this movie on Netflix and I can't recommend it enough - it's an epic action movie set in the 1920s and it has a really cool soundtrack as well.  The movie's originally in Telugu, but since I watched it on Netflix I only had the opportunity to see the Hindi langua
