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.
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!
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.
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!
May has been a busy month. It’s usually report card time and that makes me busier than usual. However, when I’m stressed I tend to read more than I usually might, so It’s been a pretty decent reading month too. Let’s cut to the chase and jump into what I’ve read this month below the cut.

I don’t always think about books when I think about constellations, but I will admit that I did really enjoy this tag putting those two things together. I hope you enjoy this quick little look at some of my recent reads.
