Ashley’s August 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

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.

Ashley’s May 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

06.05.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Ashley’s August 2023 Book Haul and Review

09.03.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Ashley’s February 2023 Book Haul and Wrap Up

03.16.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.

Miscellaneous Monday | 23 Books to Read in 2023

01.30.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

In previous years I have been creating a list of books to read based on my age, but I have not always been good about actually reading those books.  However, this year I have decided to not do that and instead I’m going to try to read 23 specific books since it is 2023.  I’m hoping that this is a more manageable number for me, but I guess we’ll see.  I’m going to list the books down below.  Let me know if you have read any of them, and which ones I should prioritize.

Tag Tuesday | #meandmybooksmybooksandme

01.24.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Hello, book fans! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a tag and I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve been on top of doing stuff for the blog.  I feel a little bit bad about neglecting my blog-sibilities, but I have to admit that I have just been really busy lately and haven’t had a lot of time to spend on blogging.  (Sometimes when I am procrastinating on work, I am unable to spend any time on anything else that might be productive.  It’s weird).  One of my resolutions this year is to be better at the blog, so I wanted to write this post up for you.

Ashley’s August 2022 Haul and Wrap Up

09.10.2022 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

August wasn’t my best reading month.  I did read some interesting books, but I felt like I was in a bit of a reading slump for a good part of the month.  It couldn’t be helped.  I was also busy and had a lot of course work.  I did end up reading 20 books, and I hauled one.  You’ll find them below the cut.
