Thumbnail image from Adri's latest YouTube video. In the photo, Adri is smiling and holding up their left hand in a flourish, above which an illustration of a laptop and tablet open to various charts and graphs has been edited in. At the top of the thumbnail, in bold white text are the words "2025 Stats". Adri is wearing a light purple t-shirt, a silver chain necklace, a silver hoop earring in their left ear, a silver wire cuff on their right ear, and a silver barbell studded with a star-shaped gem in their right eyebrow. The background of the thumbnail behind them is a collage of close-up book cover illustrations that have been blurred out so that the titles are obscured. End description.

Book cover for HOLLOW MAGIC by Mars Lauderbaugh. Three characters face the viewer on a dark blue and pink background. There is ice and a the dark outline of a castle in the midground. In the far background, the eyes and hair of a woman is peeking out over the castle. Title text at the bottom of the page reads: HOLLOW MAGIC and underneath the author type reads MARS LAUDERBAUGH.
White text on a blue background. Text reads: Raised in the world of fey, seventeen-year-old Rosefinch has the ability to lift curses with nothing but a twist of her fingers. But when a witch's magic is left long enough in the fey realm, it becomes supercharged, painful to use, and potentially even dangerous. Following a rumor that the village of Harp is home to a witch who might be able to help control her magic, Rosefinch discovers an ancient ruined castle with the inhabitants long gone; the only remaining soul a knight cursed to stand a frozen guard at the entrance. The magic she uses to free them melts more than just the ice, and soon, Rosefinch is falling for this charming stranger. But Thierry has secrets of their own, as do other members of the Harp family still hidden within the castle walls. The Harp witch’s wicked magic ripped this family apart for a reason, and Rosefinch must find a way to stop the curse or she'll lose Thierry—and chance to learn the truth about her magic—forever. With mesmerizing art and a sweeping queer romance, this spellbinding fairy tale shows the power of found family and love where we least expect it.
