August 2021 Reading Wrap Up

Happy September everyone! Has anyone else gotten their Fall decor out yet? My room has been decked out for a while now, I can never wait until September… It’s still warm now, but I’ve already been wearing sweaters (and sweating in them). August was an okay reading month for me. My reading has slowed down a lot, but I’ve also only read books that I really enjoyed. Though I have been having some trouble with picking out a book to read. I catch myself sampling a chapter or two from many books before finally settling. Anyway, I read six books…

July 2021 Wrap Up – Challenge Made

Happy August book friends! It’s so weird to me that it’s already August. In a little more than two weeks I’ll be back in the Netherlands for a whole year! It simultaneously feels longer and shorter than that. Weirdly enough though, I preferred going through lockdown in the U.S… Anyway, let’s talk about some books and other things. I read 7 books this month, which compared to my other months this year is not a whole lot, but certainly not bad either. I read a mix of old books and new-to-me books, and also switched genres a bit.july 2021 wrap…

June 2021 Wrap Up – More Rereads

Happy July everyone! I have a feeling that nearly every update on my reading gets the title “more rereads.” I just can’t stop rereading books this year for some reason. Don’t worry though, I still make time for new books! I hope everyone had an enjoyable June. We had some amazing weather the past month and I spent much of it outside. Unfortunately, the weather has turned again and there’s rain in the forecast for at least another ten days. Yay, Dutch summers… Anyway, I got some good reading done, and have some exciting life updates as well!june 2021 june…

April Wrap Up – More Rereads

Happy May everyone! I hope everyone entered the month in good spirits. I’m excited that Summer is approaching, but it would be nice if the weather acted like it too. It’s going to be rainy and cold the next week… Anyway, this month I read five books, which is about five more than I expected to read. I’m still busy working on my thesis, but I finished everything minus the actual analysis part and the conclusion! I hope to finish that soon, too, so I can go back to having a life.

December Wrap Up – Reading Goal Made

Happy 2021! How was everyone’s New Years? I hung out with my friend at her apartment, and we watched fireworks from the balcony. Those are technically illegal this year… But hey, if someone is gonna fire off pretty fireworks, I’m gonna watch. I had a really good reading month; I read seven books! That brought up the final tally to sixty over the whole year. My goal was fifty, so I made it by a landslide! Well… a small landslide. But I’m glad I kept reading, because I read some really good books this past month!december wrap up A Kingdom…
