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 March 2024 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

05.26.2024 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

March was an excellent reading month for me. I had two weeks off for Spring Break, so I really made the best possible use of my time and read so much while I was off work. It was a wonderful time and I read so, so many excellent books. It’s partly why I’m so behind on Wrap Ups. I found it pretty daunting to want to type up all the reviews for the books I read. However, it’s finally time so you’ll find my reading wrap up and March haul 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.

11.04.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

October was a really busy month for me when it come to stress and all that, so I think I might have overcompensated by reading a whole lot more than I would have thought. Escapism is always fun. However, on the whole, it was a really good reading month and I read a lot of really wonderful things. I also got some really exciting books in.

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.

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.

May was an incredibly busy month for me. I had a lot going on work wise, and there was a lot going on personally as well. However, I still ended up reading 23 books, which is pretty good all things considered.

Ashley’s April 2023 Book Haul and Reading Wrap Up

07.11.2023 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

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.
