August 2018 Bookish Wrap-Up

 

Goodbye August & hello September!

I don’t know about you all, but once August  hits, my life is go-go-go until the end of October.  With my kids returning to school & fall sports, my schedule is back to chaos.  My August was a tad more busy since I decided to start the process of applying for a substitute license.  The plan is to sub two days a week this school year, then find something full time in the district next school year when my daughter starts kindergarten.   I am excited to dip my toes back into the work force after being a stay-at-home parent for the past 5 years.

With everything I had going on, I am actually pleasantly surprised that I was able to read 8 books in August.  Unfortunaly, it wasn’t a big quality reading month for me.  I don’t think I’ve ever given out so many 2 star ratings in one month before… 

August 2017 Wrap-Up + Book Haul + Hiatus Update

Hello bookworms!

It feels so great to type those words.  You cannot imagine how tough it has been on me these past few weeks to be on a blogging hiatus…

How about a little update?

August 2017 TBR

Hello bookworms!

If you remember back to my July TBR post, I took a little break from ARCs in July.  After a few ARC heavy months, I just needed a little break to read whatever I was in the mood to read.  It was delightful, BUT I am ready to start chipping away at my ARC stack again.  For August, I am planning on reading a few ARCs, but also squeeze in a few sequels from series I started last year.  I’m also super excited for my book club’s selection this month.

Let’s see what’s on the schedule for this month, shall we?
