Happy January!! It may be a new year, but I'm still going to continue with my same basic monthly wrap-up format. I love writing little wrap-up posts each month because it's fun to look back on the past few weeks and think about what I've read and done. Wrap-ups are also helpful in the future …
JULY 2019 | Wrap-Up
Goodbye, July! As soon as August hits, I always feel like summer is on its way out. July is the core of summer for me, the essence of what I look forward to as the break between school years. Here's what I got up to this past month: P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han …
JUNE 2019 | Wrap-Up
Happy June! What I consider to be the first month of summer has now come to an end, meaning that there's an even warmer, sunnier part of the summer right around the corner. Here's what I was up to this month: In June I read a total of 9 books: Watership Down by Richard Adams …
MAY 2019 | Wrap-Up

JULY 2018 | Wrap-Up
What's this? A blog post? For the first time in weeks?! July was a ridiculously busy, hectic month for me, meaning that I was too occupied with other things to have any free time to blog. While I won't be back to my full blogging self yet (still so much to get done!) I thought it would …

MAY 2018 | Wrap-Up
You know what they say: "April showers bring May flowers..." Well, this past month of May was certainly in full bloom!

May was a whirlwind …
