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.

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.

08.16.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

July was a great month for me. I have been greatly enjoying my summer vacation, so it’s been nice to take time to reconnect with me and friends and just not be stressed all the time. I also went on a mini honeymoon with my husband to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I received some amazing books, and read so many wonderful books as well. You’ll find all of this below the cut.

I have to admit that book hangovers aren’t typically something I experience. I don’t usually finish a book and then find myself unable to start another one. But, I do like to answer book tag questions, so let’s dive into it below the cut!

I love the name of this tag, because in my mind books go perfectly with bubbles. Reading has always been one of my primary forms of self-care, and one of my favourite things to do is to read in the bath. And obviously, baths are made better with bubbles. Let’s get into the questions below the cut!
