Wow hello there stranger! It has been almost an entire month since I've posted anything and I'll admit I'm a bit rusty when it comes to creating posts right now. Finals season (correction: Finals month) seemed to come out of nowhere and with it came the disappearance of any time and motivation I had to do anything but sleep.

 The good news is that I've survived sophomore year of college and after a hectic week back of interviews for potential internships, I think I've figured out what this summer is going to look like (fingers crossed at least.) So with the end of another school year comes another yearly reflection post and here we are.

Sophomore year was definitely full of growing in unexpected ways. I stepped out of my comfort zone both musically and socially in ways that I didn't expect to. For one, I actually hung out with people! I know, it's quite a shocker, but I truly realized the importance of friendships and I'm eternally grateful to my lovely friends and all the late night talks and ice cream runs.

Musically this year has been nothing short of challenging. Practicing is still not my forte at all, but I'm definitely slowly grasping appreciation for my repertoire, even if I am so sick of the pieces by the time juries roll around. While I still feel like a nervous wreck before each performance, the shaking has become a bit more manageable and that's a win in my book.

In addition to growth, this year has also been pretty frustrating when coming to terms with some things I would honestly have been glad to ignore. But college can't always be full of ups without any challenging times so in a sense I'm grateful for certain events that have helped me shape my understanding of the world around me and of myself and what I value.

This year honestly flew by so quickly it's hard to keep count of all the little details. In short, Sophomore Year, you've been on hell of a ride. Thank for the little lessons and for the insane amounts of ice cream and oreos I've ingested. Wish me luck because Junior Year is only going to get crazier from here!

38923139Power of Five by Alex Lidell
| ISBN: 978-0998760476 | Pages: 226 |
Publication Date: May 4, 2018 | Source: Rockstar Book Tours

Four elite fae warriors. One mortal female. A magical bond they can’t allow—or resist. 
Orphaned and sold to a harsh master, Lera’s life is about mucking stalls, avoiding her master’s advances, and steering clear of the mystical forest separating the mortal and fae worlds. Only fools venture into the immortal realms, and only dark rumors come out... Until four powerful fae warriors appear at Lera’s barn. 
River, Coal, Tye, and Shade have waited a decade for their new fifth to be chosen, the wounds from their quint brother’s loss still raw. But the magic has played a cruel trick, bonding the four immortal warriors to... a female. A mortal female. 
Distractingly beautiful and dangerously frail, Lera can only be one thing—a mistake. Yet as the males bring Lera back to the fae lands to sever the bond, they discover that she holds more power over their souls than is safe for anyone... especially for Lera herself. 

Power of Five is a full-length reverse-harem fantasy novel.
