***Disclaimer: I received a free early access copy of Star Wars The High Republic: Into the Dark by Claudia Gray from NetGalley through Disney Lucasfilm Press for review purposes. Thank you so much for opportunity.

I’ve been in such a Star Wars mood lately! All thanks to my husband, who is making his way chronologically through every Star Wars book. We also watched Clone Wars and Rebels rather recently and the stories in those really got my hooked as well.

I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Claudia Gray’s other Star Wars books, however, this one has definitely sealed my fate.

I’m so excited about my summer vacation even though I’m not necessarily doing all that much this summer. I do, however, plan on getting a lot of reading done this summer though and try to keep myself entertained. I’m looking forward to all my summer reads. So what am I reading in July? You’ll find it below the cut.

Tag Tuesday | Ruler of Books

06.02.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

When I was little, I would play make believe, and every so often I would pretend to be royalty. I was always fascinated by the concept. However, I didn’t just pretend to be a princess. I also remember a time when my cousin, my little brother, and I pretended to be former Prime Ministers of Canada at the behest of my cousin who has always been interested in politics. In today’s Tag Tuesday, we are going to pretend that I am the ruler of books. You’ll find my answers below the cut.

Misc Monday | Six Month 28th Year Reading Update

06.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

My half birthday is on Wednesday so I thought we were about due for an update on the books I was planning on reading this year. I haven’t done as well with this as I was hoping to, but at least there are still another six months until my birthday to attempt to finish it all up.

Ashley’s June TBR

06.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I’m so excited about June because Kari and I are hosting another round of The Loyal Book-a-Thon. I really have a lot of fun planning these readathons with her, and I always have a lot of fun reading for them. We try to keep them flexible and allow for doubling up of prompts and maximum flexibility. People always have things going on and we don’t want it to be overwhelming. I know for me that I will probably have less reading time than usual because as of today, I’ll have to start going back to work and being in the building part time during the week. I’m excited to see my students, but it does mean less listening to audiobooks as I work through the day.

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!
