04.01.2025 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Ashley’s September 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

11.23.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Ashley’s August 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

09.02.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

August felt like it went so quickly.  I read a ton and had some lovely times with friends and family, and then all of a sudden the month was over.  It was a really good month, but it’s end also marks the return to school time so that’s a little too bad.  However, you can find out all about what I read and hauled below the cut.
