It’s been awhile since I properly reviewed a book, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading! I actually heard about this one from my friend Danielle on bookstagram, so when I saw it was on NetGalley, I smashed that request button!

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.

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.
June was one hell of a month for me. It was super busy, but we managed to survive and make it through in the long run. I ended up reading not as much as I wanted to, but I still read some pretty good books. You’ll find my June reads and my June haul below the cut.
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite Disney movies. I love that Belle is a bookish protagonist and that she makes reading look cool because so often it’s looked down upon in media. It’s definitely had more of a resurgence online thanks to things like BookTok, BookTube, and Bookstagram, and in my head, Belle has had a hand in raising a generation of readers who went on to become creators on those platforms.

I have been having some issues this year with reading, but this book really got me jump started again into it. I have nothing but pure love for this book and I’m so excited to share my thoughts with you!
