February Wrap Up

Posted February 26, 2018 in Checking In // 4 Comments

February is always the fastest month of the year. Maybe it’s because there’s so much going on, maybe it’s because it’s technically the shortest month… I don’t know! But here we are again at the end of it! For all you beautiful people reading this, I hope you all had an amazing Valentine’s Day, Lunar New Year, President’s Day – the whole shebang. And all the holidays I missed. February is ripe with holidays! My bookishness wasn’t as ambitious this month as January, but I loved all the books I got through. It was just slow going. February hits me hard as […]

January Wrap Up

Posted January 29, 2018 in Checking In // 24 Comments

2018 is off to a roaring start, n’est pas, mes chers? I’ve not been subtle about how much 2017 stunk for me, so I’m absolutely thrilled with the way January has unwound so far. I hope everyone else has had a good start, too! The Monthly Book Haul I ended up with quite a good haul this month – after a slow December on NetGalley, I ended up being granted 5 books. I timed my requests so that there’s nothing immediate, so reading them shouldn’t be a challenge (The Phantom Tree releases in August!). I believe there’s a lot of little ones […]

Well that month went by fast. Hi everyone, and welcome to my September Wrap Up… conveniently located in October! As I was trying to schedule out my month, I realized a bit too late that September was filled… oops! I ended up rearranging a lot of my scheduling but good news? I have a calendar for the rest of the year now! And that’s super important, because I’ve got reviews scheduled all the way out into November… oops? Warning: This post features NO GIFs. My computer is being super laggy and dumb and it kept crashing while I was trying […]

Welcome Ladies & Gents, to the August Wrap Up! August has been a busy month! For me, there’s been vacations and birthdays and a trip to the dentist (BLECH), and a solar eclipse! I am so so proud of myself because I have posted every day this month! I know a lot of people are heading back to school within a week, if they haven’t already. Can you believe summer’s almost over? SHEESH. I think that we all have had a crazy month, so let’s get down to it! EXCITING THINGS ARE AFOOT, MY PHOENIX FRIENDS. No, not that kind […]

July Wrap Up

Posted July 30, 2017 in Checking In // 26 Comments

July is gone, and I’m posting this today so I can focus on Harry Potter’s birthday tomorrow. I swear, I’m not a Harry Potter nerd. LIES! #Ravenclaw4Life I’ve had mixed feelings about this month’s books. There’ve been a couple of DNFs, but on the other hand there were books that I really loved! It was a high/low month and nothing inbetween. THE JULY HAUL I had a good run at Barnes & Noble earlier in the month, and I’m beginning to clear out my audible credits as well. JULY READS WRITING LIFE In a touch of insanity, I decided to […]
