Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Any other authors doing artfight? Would love some book characters to attack this year! #writesky #artfight 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I cant draw Claude consistently, but I do enjoy drawing him(he's the one holding the bottle). Hoping to get a commission of him soon because he's the only one I dont have a picture of on my wall of the main cast. Anyway, more character doodles. #writesky #art 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Just a sketch page of some characters from my book. Been in a drawing mood recently. #writesky #art 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Finished Mate by Ali Hazelwood. This took me back to my high-school wattpad days where I'd read almost exclusively werewolf stories. They are definitely a guilty pleasure, and Mate fell solidly into the category of entertaining and enjoyable. #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Finished The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune. This gave me Escape to Witch Mountain vibes in the best way possible, just more adult. I loved that movie as a kid, and I also enjoyed this book. It struck a good balance of emotional and funny depending on what the scene called for. #booksky 050
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Merrow is a new adult fantasy novel in the final editing stages. It follows a grieving widow who hasn't aged since her fiance's funeral in search of the truth behind his death, a supposed work accident caused by a misfired spell, nearly a century after it happened. #writesky -Querying summer 2026 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Finished Eona by Alison Goodman. This was a good end to the duology. The stakes were intense and kept the plot moving forward. The ending was a bit rushed but everything was resolved. I also missed "Eon's" character as I found him to be a more unique and interesting protagonist than "Eona." #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Some more library books to add to my mini bookcase. Fixed two that I made mistakes on earlier and included two that I currently have checked out and am in the process of reading. I do my best to wait until I have a full page of stuff to print so I dont waste paper. #booksky 000
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Finished Monstrous Nights by Genoveva Dimova. This was a good wrap up to the duology. I think it had been a bit too long since I read the first one because it took me some time to remember everything that was happening. I greatly enjoyed the setting and worldbuilding in this series. #booksky 170
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Finished A Harvest of Hearts by Andrea Eames. This started a little slow but really kicked in once it got into the details of heart magic. I could see why Howl's Moving Castle was a comp title. Overall, this was an engaging read that I finished super quickly. #booksky 050
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Finished Lightbringer by Claire Legrand. It was a great end to the series and probably my favorite book of the three. All the different elements really came together for the climax. I do wish we found out what happened to some of the side characters, but I also understand why we don't. #booksky 060
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Finished Kingsbane by Claire Legrand. This was a great continuation from the first book. I definitely had some predictions, most of which I was more or less accurate on. I also really like all of the side characters in this series; they're really well fleshed out. #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Just a quick doodle of a scene I recently edited in my book, Merrow. Still playing around with underwater outfits. I tried out using figure skating costumes as the reference in this drawing as they allow for a lot of movement in the legs, which is important in swimming. #doodle #writesky 010
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 03/03/2026February reading wrap-up! My favorite was definitely Legendborn, but they were all good reads! #booksky 040
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Finished The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland. This book had me from the first page. It struck a good balance between the present and the past. The main character's struggles were well written and engaging. I did feel the ending fell a little flat, but it resolved everything nicely. #booksky 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Finished reading The Golden Key by Marian Womack. This book was very atmospheric, and the prose really lent itself to an immersive setting. While I enjoyed reading it, it wasnt my cup of tea. I think the ambiguity was intentional, but there were questions I had left unanswered by the end. #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Finished Oathbound by Tracy Deonn. I thought this was the last book in the series and it was only with 200 pages left that I began to question if everything would be resolved only to discover there's a fourth book on the way. This book was awesome, and I cant wait for the next one! #booksky 070
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Finished Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn. Another great book that was just as good as the first in the series. It expanded on the world while still following the unresolved plot points from the previous book. The characters showed growth but still felt like themselves. Onto the last book! #booksky 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Finished reading Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. All I can say is that there's a reason so many people recommend this book. The characters are well written with clear motivations, and the worldbuilding/magic system is interesting and lends itself beautifully to the plot. I highly recommend. #booksky 010
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Finished reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. This was a good book, but its long. While I was engaged the entire book, it wasnt until half way through that I got fully invested. The events leading up to the climax also felt rushed for the length. I'd still recommend. #booksky 040
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 31/01/2026#questpit Nerissa hasn't aged since her fiancé Dylan died. She considers it a curse until an invitation manifests in her hand, an invitation from the family Dylan was working for when he died. His death was always suspicious, now Nerissa has a chance to prove it. #W #F #A #amediting 0259
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Finished A Steeping of Blood by Hafsah Faizal. This was a great book and a great series. The characters were well written and went through engaging character arcs. The pacing balanced the high stakes with quieter moments that still pushed the plot forward. Highly recommend. #booksky 080
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Finished The Working by BrightFlame. I enjoyed this book, especially the pagan/new age magic system that felt very grounded in real practices. The characters all had good arcs throughout the book, although Betsy started to get on my nerves a little towards the end. Overall, a great read! #booksky 120
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Finished reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. Starting the year off strong, I loved this book. I was always amazed at how clear each of the POV's voices were. The story is beautifully written and my only critique is there was a character whose conclusion I wanted a little more drawn out. #booksky 010
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 01/01/2026My storygraph 2025 wrap-up. First year in a long time I set a reading goal (2 books a month), and I'm so happy to have met and surpassed it! I plan on setting the same goal for 2026. Here's to another great year of reading! #booksky #writesky 050
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Finished reading A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal. I enjoyed this book, but I found I couldn't concentrate while reading it and didn't get as deep of a read as I would have liked, which is entirely because of me and not the book itself. I'll probably come back to reread it at some point. #booksky 000
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 21/12/2025For all the ideas we might not have the skills to execute yet. We learn and grow from each "failed" attempt. And the beautiful thing is we can always return to old ideas once we've grown. #writesky #art 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Finished reading Stranger Skies by Pascale Lacelle. Loved this book just as much as the first one in the series. We got to explore the world more as well as see some cool magic. It was also nice to see certain characters have more interactions with each other. Definitely recommend! #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Finished reading Furyborn by Claire Legrand. The dual POV got to me sometimes, and it felt like Eliana and Rielle got knocked out a ton, but it definitely picked up in the later chapters and was still an enjoyable read. The worldbuilding was easy to follow and lent itself to the story. #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Finished reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Unsurprisingly a good read. Im happy to have finished it finally. I started this book 4 times over the past 6ish years and it always seemd to be the book I stopped my reading habit during despite it's engaging plot and dynamic cast. #booksky 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 30/11/202510 years ago today I finished writing the first draft of Merrow for Nanowrimo. I've been working on it on and off all this time, but its crazy to think how far its come. In honor of its tenth birthday, here's Alec, Nerissa, and Quince in their original outfit designs. #writesky #writingcommunity 010
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Finished reading An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows. I started this book a 2ish years ago and forgot about it. Starting it again now, it was one of those books that no matter how interesting it was, and it is a well written and engaging read, I had to make a focused effort to keep reading. #booksky 151
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Nerissa and Galya having a chat. They talk quite a bit to each other over the course of the book. #inktober 010
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Another one of Quince! He's the leader of the group and as such he's gonna be making sure everything is in order. #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Dylan is the last named character I had yet to draw from my book. And with this, every character has had their moment! I'll continue with inktober drawing more of my favorite characters. #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 23/10/2025It's Nerissa's dad's turn! One more character and then I'll have drawn all the named characters in my book. Which is super cool! #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 21/10/2025This is Alec's dad Walter. And the quotation that inspired this drawing was "I dont know the first thing about you." And this has less to do with the drawing of Walter than the fact that I really dont know anything about him beyond the fact that he's Alec's dad. #inktober 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Meet Dorthy and Betty. They're fellow party goers with Nerissa. They play a very small role, but it was fun looking up 1950's fashion to draw them. #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 20/10/2025This is Wynn, Nerissa's mom. I was playing around with how aquatic humanoids would dress in my book, and for a short time I considered having their outfits be based off of ice skaters as the outfits are pretty but usually not super fabric heavy. #inktober 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Finally got a line of dialogue that made me think of Quince! I could definitely see him saying this to his kids when they've been up to some mischief. #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Finally caught up with my inktober posts! As with the previous two, character information is in the alt text. Hopefully now I'll be better about doing daily updates! These are more minor characters, and I think Rutherford is the only one I've drawn and posted before. #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Inktober art dump continued. There will be one more after this. Info on who's in the drawings is in the alt text. This has a lot of really minor characters that I haven't drawn either at all or all that often so they were a lot of fun to design. #inktober 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Inktober art dump. I promise I've been keeping up, I've just been terrible about posting it. More information about who's in the pictures is in the alt text. I'll post the rest soon so I'm up to date. #inktober 031
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Inktober day 6. Cynthia is usually a quiet observer, but they're not afraid to assert themself when necessary. The quotation prompt is: "let's get one thing straight." From My Little Pony: A New Generation (2021) #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Inktober day 4! Isolde (baby) and Elaine (mother) are only ever mentioned by name, they don't make an actual appearance in Merrow. Elaine led a sheltered life, so she's still learning. The prompt inspiration is: "I've never seen anything like it" from Game of Thrones. #inktober 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 04/10/2025I finished The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. This was a much needed break from some of the more intense books I've been reading lately. The small island where it takes place is beautifully built, and its inhabitants give a real sense of place. I definitely recommend it. #booksky 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Inktober day 3. Blanche (left) arguing with her sister Joan (right). Joan is technically older, but Blanche' leadership skills landed her the position of head of the house. The quotation prompt for today is: "ain't never coming back" from Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) #inktober 030
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Inktober day 2. Kerri, a Nereid, is on the left and Lindsay, a selkie, is on the right. They're Nerissa's co-workers and are always down for gossip, especially if its work hours. The random line that was used for inspiration is: "cutest thing I've ever seen." From Anyone But You (2023) #inktober 021
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Inktober day 1! Im not using the official prompt list, instead I'm using the website playphrase.me to generate a random movie quotation and then drawing my characters from Merrow inspired by the line as well as how it's said. Today was "go take a look around" from Orphan (2009) #inktober 020
Hannah Smith @whichhsmith.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Inktober is coming up, so I thought it would be a good idea to do some sketches for fun and as a kind of warmup. Nerissa is definitely my comfort character when it comes to drawing. #art #sketch 050
