October was a pretty great month. I always really enjoy reading things that are a little bit spooky and I need to make that a goal to try and read things that are spooky more often. It seems silly to limit it to one month of the year. Overall, it was a pretty good reading month in my opinion. I ended up reading 21 things, which I am pleased with. I also hauled a few books, and have decided to roll these two kinds of posts together.
Shelfie Sunday | July OwlCrate Unboxing
July’s OwlCrate had a Date with Destiny theme! It was a cool premise and it featured a lot of really neat items. I’m excited to be able to share them with you slightly more on time than I usually do!
Shelfie Sunday | June OwlCrate Unboxing
The June OwlCrate was a pretty cool box. It had an “All The World’s a Stage” theme, which I loved and was super excited about. I love that quote from Shakespeare, and it was really nice to see what items were included. My apologies for the delay on posting this!
Shelfie Sunday | May’s OwlCrate
May’s OwlCrate was a box that I was eagerly anticipating. I definitely understand why it takes so long for the box to be sent out, and I don’t blame them for that, but I do wish it was still coming mid month. However, that didn’t change my enjoyment of the box. I’m overall quite happy with all the items that came in the box.
Shelfie Sunday | April’s OwlCrate Unboxing

Despite the fact that COVID-19 has thrown off OwlCrate’s usual schedule, I still really loved this box and everything that it had in it. I think that the theme (Full Moon Magic) was super fun and the items all really fit the theme. I just wanted to do a quick post to go over everything that came in the box, and my thoughts on the items. You’ll find that all below the cut.
Ashley’s May Book Haul
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.
Shelfie Sunday | February OwlCrate Unboxing – A Power Within
Oops! I am definitely behind on my OwlCrate unboxings. I’m just going to jump straight into the February one, for which the theme was ‘A Power Within’.
Ashley’s April Haul
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.
Ashley’s March Haul
March has been such a weird freaking month and the temptation to do major retail therapy has been hard to avoid. However, the local bookstore is closed I’m pretty sure and my mail goes to a post office, so I’m trying to minimize my trips there and just being around people in general. However, I did end up buying some books this month and I also got a pre-order and my OwlCrate. So I have some books to talk about below the cut.
Ashley’s February Haul
February has been an interesting month, but somewhat light on book purchasing for me. Other than my OwlCrate, I didn’t technically buy any books this month. My order from Amazon that came in was full of pre-orders and things purchased previously. I did buy some books for my classroom library through this cool event hosted by my school district, but I didn’t specifically pay for those. So like I said, an interesting month. Everything I got is listed below the cut.
