Hi friends, long time no vlog! I was both excited and nervous in this vlog, you can tell how out of practice I was just from my broken grammar lol. But I had fun reading and filming it, and talking to you guys along the way! This reminded me of the joy of being part of the bookish community. I also showed some art progress, hope you like it!
