two friends and too many books
**Disclaimer: I received a copy of The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this opportunity.
The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins is an adult mystery novel. It deals with complicated family situations and family legacy, and lots and lots of money. I rated it five stars on Goodreads. It was published on January 9th, 2024.
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.
Something about me is that I am an avid reader. That might seem somewhat obvious coming from someone who has a book blog, but it is really true. I read a lot. It’s my favourite form of self-care, and I just love escaping into a different world and getting away from real life for a bit. In order to be meaningful about my reading, I have decided to set some reading resolutions this year.
November was a pretty good reading month. I tried to take it a little bit easy because I knew that I had report cards this month, but I still managed to get a lot of reading done, which felt pretty good. I also got some pretty exciting books in the mail. Overall, I really can’t complain.
Where the heck did September go? All of a sudden it’s October and I have no idea where any of the time went. It was a hectic month with back to school and back to school illnesses. However, it was ultimately a pretty good month, and I read a fair few books and got some good books to add to my collection. You’ll find everything I read and hauled below the cut.
August was such a strange but lovely month. I took time to enjoy being a newlywed, and then I started getting ready to go back to work, despite there being a heck of a lot procrastination involved in that as well. I’m very good at procrastinating. I did, however, end up doing a fair bit of reading, and some particularly good reading. It was an excellent month all told.
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.
I am a bit behind on my hauls and wrap-ups. I ended up getting very busy at the end of the school year and when I came home from work I had little energy for anything outside of just sitting on my couch and recovering. However, now it’s summer break so I’m going to try and do some catching up. So here is what happened for me book-wise in April. I will admit that the book haul was a little crazy but that’s only because I made a Book Outlet order. Oops. I also read 25 books, which is pretty good.
**Disclaimer: I recieved a free advanced reader’s copy of Four Found Dead by Natalie D. Richards through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.
Four Found Dead by Natalie D. Richards is a young adult thriller novel. It is about a girl named Jo who is working her last shift at her job at a local movie theatre, which is closing down.

I had a pretty good February. There were some moments were I was really struggling, but I would say that on the whole I had a good reading month. I loved most of what I read, and I picked up some books that I was pretty excited about. I ended up reading 25 books, which is pretty good all things considered.
