Ashley’s June TBR

06.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I’m so excited about June because Kari and I are hosting another round of The Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I really have a lot of fun planning these readathons with her, and I always have a lot of fun reading for them.  We try to keep them flexible and allow for doubling up of prompts and maximum flexibility.  People always have things going on and we don’t want it to be overwhelming.  I know for me that I will probably have less reading time than usual because as of today, I’ll have to start going back to work and being in the building part time during the week.  I’m excited to see my students, but it does mean less listening to audiobooks as I work through the day.

Ashley’s May Wrap Up

05.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

May marked another month of me working from home, so it meant that I listened to a lot of audiobooks again.  However, I also got to read some physical books, and I checked some of the beefier reads off my TBR.  Overall, it was a really good reading month and I felt like I really enjoyed a lot of the things that I read.  Everything that I read can be found below the cut!

Ashley’s May Book Haul

05.30.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

May was another weird month, but I think that all of the months will be weird until this whole pandemic ends.  I ended up succumbing to my book buying urges this month and picked up an order from Book Outlet because they had some crazy sales going on.  I also picked up a couple of other books.  You’ll find them below the cut.

Misc Monday | Book Cover Outfits

05.25.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

People have been getting so creative during this pandemic.  Personally, I haven’t been, but I have found some inspiration from places like Book Twitter, and BookTube.  One trend that I found that I think is really cool is this whole book covers as outfits trend.  I really, really wanted to do it but was nervous because my wardrobe isn’t extensive.  I also wanted to play with makeup, but I’m not particularly talented at it.  However, I thought it could be a fun blog post, so you’ll find that below the cut.

Ashley’s April Wrap Up

05.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This was a crazy reading month for me.  I felt really slumpy back in March and then had to transition into working from home.  I expected that I wouldn’t really get a lot of reading done this month despite participating in both the OWLs Magical Readathon and our Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I figured I’d read those, and that would be about it.  However, I ended up getting through a lot of books and finished off both readathons pretty early in the month.  Working from home meant that I could listen to audiobooks while working, and it’s made me a lot more efficient reader.  So I’m pretty proud of the fact that in April I read 34 books/novellas.  You’ll find everything I read below the cut. 🙂

Ashley’s April Haul

04.29.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

What a weird month this has been! I’ve been doing a ton of reading, but not a lot of book buying, which is probably for the best.  However, I did still end up with some books this month so we’re going to do a quick and dirty haul for you today.

Book Review | #bestiemademe – We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

04.06.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

91kkPLZfk8L I read We Were Liars at the beginning of this year. I forgot exactly when Ashley recommended it to me, but it was long enough for me to have had it on my TBR, finally buy a copy, and then have it sit there for a little while longer.

Due of the nature of this book, it’s going to be a short and vague review. I do apologize in advance.

Book Review | We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian

03.29.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free early reader’s copy of We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to them and the publisher for this opportunity.

We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian is a young adult contemporary novel about a high school girl’s field hockey team. It is multi point of view and you get the perspectives of a variety of girls on the varsity team at West Essex high school. We Are the Wildcats publishes on March 31st. I rated it 5 stars on Goodreads.

Ashley’s February Wrap Up

03.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

IMG_1241

February was a weird reading month for me.  I had several things on my TBR that I really wanted to get to, but I didn’t get to most of it.  Without officially saying it, I kind of threw my TBR out the window.  I finished some things I started in January, but anything physical that I started in February that wasn’t a graphic novel was pretty much a no go.  I was definitely feeling slumpy, despite the fact that I read 19 things.  Most of what I read were audiobooks and graphic novels.  That’s not a bad thing, but it’s not really a great thing either.  I need to work on my physical TBR some more, but that’s probably a next month kind of thing.  However, without further ado, you’ll find everything I read below the cut.
