Ashley’s June Wrap Up

06.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

June is always a crazy month in the life of a teacher. You’re exhausted and ready for summer, and so are the kids. Then it becomes time for report cards and you go a little crazy trying to get all the marks in so you can finalize the grades, and then you have to write comments. To top all of that off, I also came down with a cold in June, so it probably wasn’t my best reading month ever. That being said, I still read a fair few things and I really enjoyed a lot of them! Without further ado, please check out my wrap up below the cut! 🙂

Ashley’s June Haul

06.29.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I felt like I kept my book buying to a minimum in June. I hauled six books, which is maybe not super reasonable in terms of shelf space but in comparison to some past months where I went a little crazy with my purchases, I felt pretty good about this one. One was a preorder, one was from an order last month, one was from Owl Crate, and then three were from my trip to the bookstore with my boyfriend this month. I’ve also already read two of these! 🙂 Without further ado, let’s jump into the list of books I hauled in June.

One of my all time favourite shows from this past year is The Haunting of Hill House, the Netflix original series based on the novel by the same name by Shirley Jackson.

Tag Tuesday | Days of the Weeks in Books

Reading is one of those equal opportunity hobbies. You don’t need to schedule it; you can just fit it in whenever you want, and whenever you have time. Personally, I like to read in every free second I can find.

Tag Tuesday | The Avengers Book Tag

I have a whole bunch of book tags that I meant to do on Bookstagram, but I never really got around to them, which is too bad. I thought that it might be fun to share them here, and Kari agreed, because it’s always nice to have different kinds of things to post. So we’re going to start a Tag Tuesday series here on the blog!

Misc Monday | It’s Been a Year

June 7th marked the one year anniversary of my first post on this blog. I can’t believe it’s already been a year, who knows where the time went? (Not me, that’s for sure).

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey from NetGalley through Berkley for review purposes. The final copy was gifted to me from the publisher. Thank you so much for opportunity.

For an awesome excerpt of the book, be sure to check the end of the post!

Let’s take a moment to be real: who doesn’t love Tom Hanks? Even if you’re not one for romcoms like You’ve Got Mail, how about movies like Saving Private Ryan, Turner & Hooch, Castaway, or my personal favorite, Toy Story?

Even though his name is mentioned probably 100 times, Tom Hanks is not actually in this book. Basically, Tom Hanks is the metaphor for the perfect partner in a romantic comedy.
