Ashley’s November Book Haul and Wrap Up

11.30.2021 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Ashley’s September Haul and Wrap Up

10.02.2021 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

September wasn’t my best reading month because I headed back to work and that was an adjustment scheduling wise.  I’ve been feeling a little bit slumpy as well and it’s been making me procrastinate on reading instead of really diving into books.  Whenever I force myself to read, I do find that I really enjoy it though so that’s really good.  Let’s dive into everything I hauled and read below.
