August 2017 Wrap-Up!

Another month has flown by which means that summer is almost over (YAY)!! I'm so ready for fall! I's been a pretty interesting month off the blog; trying to balance work, school, marriage, reading and my blog. I think I've done pretty well and I've been able to keep the blog going and my reading up. I have fallen down on commenting and commenting back but that is definitely one of my goals for September. 

I'm so excited for September and all the wonderful things it's going to bring. I'm going to start on my Halloween reads, I'm doing a read along of A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki which is hosted by Jenni K Group Reads. And September is my birthday month which makes it the best month! 

Read in August:

The Monet Murders by Terry Mort ⭐⭐

It's Always the Husband by Michele Campbell ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Accident Season by Moira Fowley-Doyle ⭐⭐⭐

The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig ⭐⭐

Hatchett by Gary Paulsen ⭐⭐⭐

Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As I said before I'm really excited about September! I briefly mentioned that I'm starting my Halloween reads this month. I'm currently reading Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin and I'm shocked by how much I'm loving it so far! I'm also planning on reading The Long Walk by Stephen King, The Deep by Nick Cutter and The Bird Eater by Ania Ahlborn. I definitely want to have a lot of horror and scary type books ready by October because I only want to do those types of reviews leading up the Halloween. 

I hope all you readers had a great month as well and that you're just as excited as I am that we're on the verge of fall! Happy September everyone!

August Book Club Pick:

It's Always the Husband by Michele Campbell

I am so excited for August! It's going to be a really great month! I've gone back down to part-time at work so that I can start school again and have more time for classes and schoolwork. I'm hoping I'll still have time to read and blog. I'm studying to be a special education teacher so I'm really excited about all the things I'm going to learn. I also get to student teach this semester which I'm both excited and nervous about! That might not start until September though. 

I hope all you readers and bloggers had a great July as well! Looking forward to continuing to read your blogs in the coming months! Happy reading!
