It’s basically planning with stickers. I’ve made amazing spreads and it’s so relaxing!), exercise, animals lol I love life in general. Trust me, the older you get, the more you appreciate life. You and Ian are rock stars! You know I love ya both 😘 I’ll def tag you two once I get my channel up and running.

I read red rising several years ago unfortunately i didn't enjoy it so i decided to not read the other books

[@AshlynnCalee]

That’s so understandable! If I usually don’t like the 1st book I also don’t continue the series ☺️

[@lenaghanem9151]

I didn’t like red rising. But then I decided to listen to Golden Son audiobook. It was a 5 stars! It was so shocking. The audiobook allows you to get the jokes the characters are saying. And it brings you closer to the characters. Also Red Rising institute wasn’t my favorite. But the rest of the books are outside of the institute and Golden Son is sooo jam packed! I love it! I just wanted to say. I didn’t like the first one aswell. I loved the second one though! My fav in the entire series! I just finished Light Bringer the last book. Ok sry this was long!

@@angelaholmes8888 really? Well I was on Reddit. And this was right after I read red rising. And I asked for some good book recommendations. And this girl goes “red rising” and I’m like “oh I didn’t like it. But I want to read the second book!” And the girl responded “don’t the series gets worse” HAAH. I was so shocked.
