July Reading Roundup: Six books and one I haven’t stopped recommending

Blimey – this was a big month! I didn’t actually realise that I have finished 6 books this month, 7 if you count the fact that I finished the last one on the 1st of August. But because this month is so long already, I’m not counting it, and I’ll get on my rant about that book next month. There’s also one in this month’s pile that I think might be my read of the year.

Let’s take a look at what did count this month. Followed by my daily August gratitude answer too.

Guess who wasn’t paying attention when selecting books this month? This girl! I can confirm my books were 100% eBooks, all found on Kindle Unlimited.…

June Reading Round-Up: Slow going but great books

This month felt like a slower month for reading, and spoiler alert, I only finished three books. But the ones that I read were great, so I don’t feel like it was wasted.

I think it was just that I was so tired every day this month that I barely got reading time in before my eyes were closing, or my Kindle was dropping on my face.

Here’s the summary for the month.

5 Things for Frursday Vol. 2

It’s Friday night, I’m procrastinating from doing the things I should be doing… so here we are.

Oh wait, no it’s not.

It’s Thursday!

We have a long weekend here (show holiday tomorrow), so it feels like a Friday night. I could schedule it to post tomorrow, I suppose, but that’s not as fun as admitting that my brain shut down, or that it’s just felt like a long week.

Let’s invent a new term then.

Frursday. Friday on a Thursday.

On with the 5 for a Frursday!

1 – Queen of Procrastination

I read a great quote this morning, and it sums me up perfectly for the last month or so:

Procrastination makes easy things hard, and hard things harder.

April Reading Round-up: I Finally Caved and Read Crescent City

Well, today’s the day! It’s glam time, baby! My cousin’s wedding is today, which means it’s finally time to break out the dress.

This morning I’ve already done my fingernails, painted my toenails, showered, and straightened my hair.

There’s just over an hour left until we go, so just enough time to post an April reading round-up before I have to do my makeup.

Summary

This month started with finishing off a romance novel, before jumping off a cliff and diving headfirst into the Sarah J Maas world of Crescent City.

And here is the calendar view.

Books I read this month

Personal Blogs I’ve Been Loving: Monday Mentions vol 2

Last week, I started a new blog theme called Monday Mentions where I share some of the personal blogs I’ve discovered around the internet.

It’s been so refreshing to discover new blogs again. I’d really missed it, just hearing about the everyday things, what’s been going on in other people’s lives, those little ‘me too!’ moments. A little less lonely, you know?

(And now I’m singing “A little less conversation, a little more action please”. Great reminder for me to get onto the point of this post, actually…ahem).

So here’s another batch of Monday Mentions – personal blogs I’ve been loving lately.
