Ashley’s January Haul and Wrap Up

01.31.2021 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Misc Monday | Ashley’s 28th Year Reading Wrap Up

11.30.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Ashley’s November Haul and Wrap Up

11.30.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

November has been a weird month.  I’ve been really stressed out with work and the general world, but I’ve had books to escape into which has been great.  I have also officially beaten my reading record for 2019!  In November, I read 28 books.

Book Review | Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

07.22.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free advanced reader’s copy of Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.

Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis is a stand-alone novel. It’s classified as a young adult horror novel and deals with some rather sensitive topics, so readers beware. It’s about a girl named Lola who is learning more about her family history in a rather spooky small town. Harrow Lake, according to NetGalley, is set to be published on August 25th, 2020. I gave it five stars on Goodreads.

Ashley’s May Wrap Up

05.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

May marked another month of me working from home, so it meant that I listened to a lot of audiobooks again.  However, I also got to read some physical books, and I checked some of the beefier reads off my TBR.  Overall, it was a really good reading month and I felt like I really enjoyed a lot of the things that I read.  Everything that I read can be found below the cut!

Ashley’s April Wrap Up

05.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This was a crazy reading month for me.  I felt really slumpy back in March and then had to transition into working from home.  I expected that I wouldn’t really get a lot of reading done this month despite participating in both the OWLs Magical Readathon and our Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I figured I’d read those, and that would be about it.  However, I ended up getting through a lot of books and finished off both readathons pretty early in the month.  Working from home meant that I could listen to audiobooks while working, and it’s made me a lot more efficient reader.  So I’m pretty proud of the fact that in April I read 34 books/novellas.  You’ll find everything I read below the cut. 🙂

Ashley’s February Wrap Up

03.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

IMG_1241

February was a weird reading month for me.  I had several things on my TBR that I really wanted to get to, but I didn’t get to most of it.  Without officially saying it, I kind of threw my TBR out the window.  I finished some things I started in January, but anything physical that I started in February that wasn’t a graphic novel was pretty much a no go.  I was definitely feeling slumpy, despite the fact that I read 19 things.  Most of what I read were audiobooks and graphic novels.  That’s not a bad thing, but it’s not really a great thing either.  I need to work on my physical TBR some more, but that’s probably a next month kind of thing.  However, without further ado, you’ll find everything I read below the cut.

Ashley’s December Wrap Up

12.31.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

How is it the end of the year already? I can’t believe we’re about to start a brand new decade. This past month I read 18 books, which is pretty exciting because I officially beat my record of books read this year by reading 235! I also participated in the winter session of the Magical Readathon, which was definitely fun. I have a few books at the beginning of January to finish it up. You’ll find everything I read this month below the cut.

Tag Tuesday | 2019 A to Z Reading Challenge

12.24.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Before I got really into bookstagram and tags, I never knew there was such a thing as an A to Z challenge. I think it’s actually a pretty cool thing to do. I tried to do one last year, but I wasn’t super successful so I thought I would try again this year.

Ashley’s November Wrap Up

11.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I had a rather interesting reading month this month! I thought I was having a bad one where I hadn’t read very many books, but I ended up reading 16, which is pretty good in my opinion. I also read my longest book of the year this month, and did okay at catching up on some series that I had been procrastinating on. Find out what I read below the cut!
