Ashley’s August 2023 Book Haul and Review

09.03.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

August was such a strange but lovely month.  I took time to enjoy being a newlywed, and then I started getting ready to go back to work, despite there being a heck of a lot procrastination involved in that as well.  I’m very good at procrastinating.  I did, however, end up doing a fair bit of reading, and some particularly good reading.  It was an excellent month all told.

Ashley’s April 2023 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

07.11.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I am a bit behind on my hauls and wrap-ups.  I ended up getting very busy at the end of the school year and when I came home from work I had little energy for anything outside of just sitting on my couch and recovering.  However, now it’s summer break so I’m going to try and do some catching up.  So here is what happened for me book-wise in April.  I will admit that the book haul was a little crazy but that’s only because I made a Book Outlet order.  Oops.  I also read 25 books, which is pretty good.

Ashley’s January 2023 Book Haul and Wrap Up

03.15.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

January was a pretty good month.  It was definitely a month with a lot of pre-orders so I got lots and lots of book mail, which was exciting.  I evern chipped away at reading some of those books, which was extra fun.  It was also a really good reading month.  My students were very helpful in encouraging me to read a book for each day of the month.  I didn’t quite succeed in that, but I read a lot, and I read a lot of very good things.  You’ll find what I’ve read below, along with the books hauled.
