Monthly Wrap-Up: August 2020

Hello everyone! This is super late, I know. This month, I read a total of 9 books! This seems to be my magic number haha.

I’m going to try to do things slightly differently this year. I am going to keep y’all updated on how my various book challenges are going in each of my monthly wrap-ups.

Things I Posted:

Books I Just HAD to Buy…But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf ~ Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag ~ Mini-Reviews // First Half of August ~ Book Review: The Wrong Mr. Darcy ~ Book Review: Fable

I got a little bit more back on the bandwagon this month. I regret to inform you that this trend will likely not last much longer, at least for a bit haha…

Getting Personal:

Not a lot happened this month, and at the same time a ton happened! I got a new haircut, so I have short and partially blonde hair for the first time in my life! It has taken some getting used to, but I really like it now.

My daughter started virtual pre-school, and it has been simultaneously better and worse than I imagined haha. Just picture trying to get a wiggly 3.5 year old to sit still in front of a screen for three hours a day and you will get an idea of how it is going 😉 I will say, she is making a lot of progress though, which is really great to see.

My September TBR Pile:

Ember Queen by Laura Sebastian

The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare

The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls by Anissa Gray

I am fully aware that this is a ridiculously long TBR list. I am hopeful that I can get to all of these titles, but I’m not holding my breath.
