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 February 2023 Book Haul and Wrap Up

03.16.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I had a pretty good February.  There were some moments were I was really struggling, but I would say that on the whole I had a good reading month.  I loved most of what I read, and I picked up some books that I was pretty excited about.  I ended up reading 25 books, which is pretty good all things considered.

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.

Miscellaneous Monday | 23 Books to Read in 2023

01.30.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

In previous years I have been creating a list of books to read based on my age, but I have not always been good about actually reading those books.  However, this year I have decided to not do that and instead I’m going to try to read 23 specific books since it is 2023.  I’m hoping that this is a more manageable number for me, but I guess we’ll see.  I’m going to list the books down below.  Let me know if you have read any of them, and which ones I should prioritize.

Let’s just dive into it!

Tag Tuesday | #meandmybooksmybooksandme

01.24.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Hello, book fans! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a tag and I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve been on top of doing stuff for the blog.  I feel a little bit bad about neglecting my blog-sibilities, but I have to admit that I have just been really busy lately and haven’t had a lot of time to spend on blogging.  (Sometimes when I am procrastinating on work, I am unable to spend any time on anything else that might be productive.  It’s weird).  One of my resolutions this year is to be better at the blog, so I wanted to write this post up for you.
