I’m doing weekly reading vlogs for the entirety of the O.W.L.s Magical Readathon! So, that means that for the whole month of April, I’ll be putting up a vlog every week (at least, that’s the idea). If you want to see what I get up to during the week, and want to know what I’m […]

Anyone looking for some comfort food in these weird times? I made these chocolate brownies with a peanut butter swirl about two weeks ago and they definitely comforted me.
