October 2018 Reading Wrap Up

Hey, guys!

      October was a fairly great reading month! I actually read some books! I'm so happy! This past month was just soo busy! I turned 21, I went to Chicago, I went to the Sarah J. Maas event in Chicago/Naperville, and I read 7 books! 

      In the last week of October, I became SOOO  busy with school. That is why my wrap up and book haul are going up so late. I'd just like to apologize for my weird posting schedule. I've been trying to keep up, but I don't think I'll catch up while I'm in school. I just have so much to do for the last stretch of the first semester of my junior year. There is no way that I'll be able to post consistently. I'm definitely going to try, but it will be hard. I just wanted to be completely transparent with you all. Thank you for reading my blog posts guys!

September 2018 Reading Wrap Up + Currently Reading

Hey, guys!

I've been so freaking behind on reading. It's not even funny. I've only read 3 books this month and I'm emotionally dead. I wish I could read more, but school has taken over my life...it's great.

This is going to be a really short blog post, but here are the books I read this month. 

1. Mirage by Somaiya Daud
• 4.7 stars
2. The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond by Max Brallier
• 3 stars
3. Ruin and Rising (Grishaverse #3) by Leigh Bardugo
• 5 stars

Favorite: Ruin & Rising 

Number of Pages Read: 982

Currently Reading

Of course, I'm not reading these all at once, but I am in the middle of a couple of them. 

I'm currently 20 pages into Grim Lovelies, about 60% through Tower of Dawn, and Sasha Cade is my next read. 

What are you currently reading?

Happy reading!

August 2018 Reading Wrap Up

Hey, guys!

     With school starting back up, I haven't read much at all. My main focus has been on getting back into the swing of things and to work as hard as I can. That being said, my reading amount is definitely going to be going down this semester. This semester is already difficult and time-consuming. I'll try to write reviews and catch up, but my main focus is school right now. I'm trying, but it might not be consistent or timely. I apologize in advance. 

     This month I read 10 books. I'm quite proud of myself, though I didn't make much of a dent on my physical TBR. I managed to access my public library quite well. Here are the books I read this month!

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
• Rating: 3.5 stars
2. Moonstruck Volume 1 by Grace Ellis adn Shae Beagle
• 5 stars
3. Saga Volume 6 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
• 4 stars
4. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover

5. Frankenstein the Graphic Novel by Mary Shelley, Jason Cobley, & Joe Sutliff Sanders

May 2018 Reading Wrap Up

Hey, guys!

I've managed to read so much this month! I'm so excited to share my thoughts on these books. They were really wonderful. I'm kind of surprised to see how much I've read this month and how many of them turned out to be 5-star books. I honestly felt like I was slacking this month, but it looks like I've read so much more. I've read 12 books! A good majority of the books are not in the picture because they were either returned to the library, lent to a friend, or given back to a friend. Anyway, here are the books I've read this month! I'll have reviews up very soon! Until then, feel free to go to my Goodreads account to see some of my thoughts on these books!
