November felt like an accomplishment, but it always does when I survive report card season. It was a pretty good month on the whole, but it was definitely one where I was counting down the days a bit. Let’s get into what I read and hauled this month down below.
October was a great month. I always enjoy the excuse to read all kinds of spooky books among other things. I suppose, I dont’ really need a reason to read spooky books but it’s fun to have one. I also got in some pretty great books this month. Let’s dive into it!

The school year has really been one heck of an adjustment for me. I’ve been reading loads but not doing all that much when it comes to this blog, and I’m sorry about that. I figured it would be worth it to do some catching up. It was on the whole, a pretty great reading month though, and the school start-up wasn’t too bad either. Let’s jump into it below the cut.

July was a great month for me. I have been greatly enjoying my summer vacation, so it’s been nice to take time to reconnect with me and friends and just not be stressed all the time. I also went on a mini honeymoon with my husband to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I received some amazing books, and read so many wonderful books as well. You’ll find all of this below the cut.
