Miscellaneous Monday | 23 Books to Read in 2023

01.30.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

In previous years I have been creating a list of books to read based on my age, but I have not always been good about actually reading those books.  However, this year I have decided to not do that and instead I’m going to try to read 23 specific books since it is 2023.  I’m hoping that this is a more manageable number for me, but I guess we’ll see.  I’m going to list the books down below.  Let me know if you have read any of them, and which ones I should prioritize.

Ashley’s July 2022 Haul and Wrap Up

07.31.2022 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

July has been a pretty mellow month.  I’ve been able to do a lot of relaxing, which was really nice after the hectic nature of the school year.  I have been taking an online course so I haven’t done as much reading as I wanted, but I have managed to read quite a few books, which is nice nonetheless.  I also got to read some fun books!  I was so excited when I got my two five star reads this month.  I also hauled some fun books that I’m really excited about.  Below the cut you’ll find all of the books that I read and hauled in July.
