My SVT Story [2 Years Post-Ablation]
It's been 2 years. TWO YEARS!!
I'm kind of in shock. I think since my ablation in 2018, I've been waiting for the ball to drop. It's always been in the back of my mind that even though my ablation was successful, it's possible that my SVT could come back, that my burned node could possibly reform. As time passes, I get a little more comfortable that it won't. I think that's good for my mental health for sure.

Top Ten 5 Star Predictions
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.
Update 6/26/21: I haven't read all of these but decided to give an update on those I did and you can see if they were 5 star ratings below :)
Update 1/25/22: I'm at 5 out of 7 being 5 star reads.
Last updated 3/4/22: 6 out of 8 are 5 stars! Only Darkdawn and Strange left to go.
5/12/22: And I'm done! 7 out of the 10 were 5 stars. Biggest shocker was Strange the Dreamer not being a 5 star :(
I don't think I've ever made a post like this or compiled a list of books that I think I will love and rate 5 stars. I'm pretty excited about it and I definitely want to revisit this post when I've read them all. Most of them are from authors I've read from. Nevermoor, Mystwick, and Darker Shade are the three from new-to-me authors, so they are my wild cards :)

February TBR & Monthly Challenge
Today is the start of my masters program in accounting. I only have 10 classes to complete but I'm sure they will take up an insane amount of time. My goal is to try and finish these two books this month and they are two that I had on my list for the Contemporaryathon. I'm kind of a bit of a spot where I'm getting frustrated because I want to read EVERYTHING and I cannot do that. I can only read so many things at once. It's about putting me into a slump and I don't think that college will help with that.
My Tentative TBR for February:
- Tyler Johnson Was Here by Jay Coles
- Lab Partners by Mora Montgomery
Goodreads Challenge: 8/50 books - 16% AHEAD!
Series Challenge: 0/10 series - 0% BEHIND!
Netgalley Challenge: 1/12 books - 8% AHEAD!
Owlcrate Challenge: 0/12 books - 0% BEHIND!
