Ashley’s July 2023 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

08.04.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

July was a really busy month for me because we were wedding planning and recovering from the school year so I didn’t spend as much time reading as I wanted to.  However, I did conclude the month by getting married so that automatically makes this the best month ever.  Ultimately, I read 12 books, which beats my monthly goal of 10 books read.

Book Review | The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten

06.01.2023 by Kari // Leave a Comment

***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten from Orbit Books for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.

I had seen the hype for this book all over bookstagram and when I emailed Orbit, they got back to me saying that if they had any review copies left they’d send me one. I was so lucky that one came in the mail but not a few days later! It was one of my most exciting book mail moments. So thank you once again so much to Orbit Books for making this reviewer so happy with this great story.
