I have had this post in my drafts for SO LONG because it is very hard to find book covers with pomegranates on them. And of course I wanted them to be sci-fi/fantasy, since that's what my blog is about. And I had to try and make sure it wasn't actually figs I was seeing (easy to tell apart in real life, not always so easy in little illustrations). And I wanted them to actually be pretty. (I...
This hasn't been the best month for me. I mean, what month has been lately, for most people? But still. It was also my birthday, but I didn't do anything special. Couldn't even if I felt up to it, what with the pandemic and all. Anyway, unable to focus on much, I've watched a lot of baking shows on Netflix.

Next up for my end of the year posts is characters! The lifeblood of books! I just thought it was interesting to note that four of these are main characters, one is a love interest, three are side characters, and two are kind of cheating since I chose all the main characters. I could ramble some for the intro, but eh, no point in wasting time, let's just get to all of the characters I loved...
