Okay, honestly, I had opened this blog back up a couple of weeks ago thinking about "wow I haven't posted on my blog in forever, lord knows if people still use this." Then I was going to say something about going into my last year of college, thesis, how this blog is a pretty great reminder of my middle school/high school years etc. etc. etc...
BUT FORGET ALL THAT!!!
Upon my discovery last night, I figured an update is in order simply because I found that there's not just one, but TWO NEW SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT BOOKS OUT THERE IN THE WORLD. NEW CONTENT AFTER THE SERIES ENDED FOUR YEARS AGO. I AM ABSOLUTELY LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS!!! This series has literally been there for me for most of my school life honestly and so just the fact that its BACK, IS IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AND FOLLOWS THE SAME CHARACTERS IS JUST AMAZING. So naturally I bought both of the books and they'll be here in like two weeks which just isn't soon enough. I was just so hyped up last night when I found this out, I left a few of my friends, who know nothing about the series, some pretty long voice messages cause I had to just get out the energy you know? I also realized that fan art is a thing, and I'm gonna make some because now I feel confident enough in myself to do so!
This series is the reason I made this blog in the first place! The author, Derek Landy, had a blogspot running (I should check and see if he still does...) and I really wanted to comment on it and be part of the conversation. It led to a bunch of cool online friends, some interaction with Derek Landy himself *see past posts for more information from teenage me* and a writing blog thats...still out there...somewhere.... Anyway, this series means a lot to me and it seemed appropriate to write another post after so long seeing as this has returned to the world.
So I hope all of you still holding on to blogspot are living good lives and have been reading these new books. If you're just learning about these new books today then TAKE A LOOK AT THEM!!! It's such a good series and its so under appreciated, especially here in America. I maybe know like two people in real life who actually know the series and have read them.
I wish you all the best and hope you're all being your best and truest selves.
