Ashley’s August TBR | ScallywagAThon – August 16-23

08.13.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

August is kind of a catch up reading month for me, because I brought home a whole bunch of books from my classroom and school library and only dipped into a couple during July. It meant that I have a whole bunch still left to read for August, so I never made a TBR post at the start of the month. However, I’ve since decided to participate in the ScallywagAThon, which is hosted by HardbackHoarder, Paper Faerie, and Read All the Books.

07.12.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.
