July was a great month for me. I have been greatly enjoying my summer vacation, so it’s been nice to take time to reconnect with me and friends and just not be stressed all the time. I also went on a mini honeymoon with my husband to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I received some amazing books, and read so many wonderful books as well. You’ll find all of this below the cut.
June was one hell of a month for me. It was super busy, but we managed to survive and make it through in the long run. I ended up reading not as much as I wanted to, but I still read some pretty good books. You’ll find my June reads and my June haul below the cut.
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney movies. I love that Belle is a bookish protagonist and that she makes reading look cool because so often it’s looked down upon in media. It’s definitely had more of a resurgence online thanks to things like BookTok, BookTube, and Bookstagram, and in my head, Belle has had a hand in raising a generation of readers who went on to become creators on those platforms.

April was a pretty good month. I didn’t read nearly as much as the previous month, but when you don’t have two weeks off, that doesn’t matter too much. I had some great reads and god some great books in. Let’s dive into it below the cut.
March was an excellent reading month for me. I had two weeks off for Spring Break, so I really made the best possible use of my time and read so much while I was off work. It was a wonderful time and I read so, so many excellent books. It’s partly why I’m so behind on Wrap Ups. I found it pretty daunting to want to type up all the reviews for the books I read. However, it’s finally time so you’ll find my reading wrap up and March haul below the cut.
