January marked the start of a brand new reading year. I’m excited for a fresh start and to read some really good books. I’m hoping to be able to tick more books off of my physical TBR, so I’ve joined a TBR challenge through bookstagram. Five of the books I read this month are from that.

I turn 29 on Thursday and honestly I can’t believe it’s already here. I thought it would be cool to wrap up my challenge to myself of the 28 Books I Want to Read in my 28th Year. I did a six month check in, which you can find here.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the books I read and didn’t read from the remaining books on my list.

Misc Monday | Book Cover Outfits

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 March Wrap Up

03.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Wasn’t March just the longest month ever? I kept looking at the date on the calendar and being like how are we still in March? However, it’s finally over and hopefully April will bring better things. I read 19 books in March, which I feel pretty good about because I was somewhat slumpy for a good part of it. You’ll find my thoughts below the cut.

Selfie Saturday | Burnout?

This is a weird thing to write about. I have to admit that as I start this post, I’m not 100% certain about where I’m going with this. You’re going to have to bear with me as I explore my thoughts and feelings. I’m not going to get too personal on this, but I just want to talk about how I’ve been feeling lately.
