July Wrap-Up!

I read a total of 12 books this month. I read a total of 4,349 pages. This month was a little better reading wise. I still started off the month really slow. I had to read mostly arcs to keep up with all the releases! Next month is insane and I’m trying to get a head start but I’m not doing so well. I have also realized that you can request Picture Books on Netgalley! Oliver is obsessed with books and we read so many. I have downloaded some over the last couple of days to read with him on here! It’s been so fun. I will be sprinkling in some Picture Book reviews from time to time. 🙂

I have completed 42 books for my PopSugar Challenge

I completed 37 books for my Beat the Backlist Challenge.

I also want to talk about a new monthly post I’ve created. It’s all about highlighting the Birthstone of the month with lovely book covers. Check it out here if you want to see more about it. Definitely join in next month if you think it looks fun! ❤ I’ve seen a couple people participate and it’s been so awesome to see! Thanks, guys! I’m honored you have jumped in! ❤

Listening to:

The Head and the Heart

I’ve loved this band for so long. I love their music! I’m loving “Every Shade of Blue” so much. Tiebreaker and Love We Make are also great!

Watching:

I was in the middle of a “re-watch” for a few months. I finally finished and then.. I started it over!! I’m just in the mood for this and it’s been so great. I love this show and can’t recommend it enough! ❤

Chris and I just started this a couple of nights ago and we are obsessed!! We are half way through the first season.
