August Monthly Wrap Up!




Off the Blog:


Hey everyone!  August has come and gone and this has been a pretty interesting month!  The major thing that happened in August was me going to the Soda City Comic Con in South Carolina and this was a groundbreaking moment for me because this was the first comic con I had ever been to and I loved every moment of it!  I'm hoping to come back next year and maybe try to cosplay as Storm from the X-Men if  I can make it to the Soda City Comic Con next year!  If you want to hear more about my time at Soda City Comic Con, feel free to check out this POST.



On the Blog:

I had a pretty good reading month! I've managed to read up to 8 books for this month, which was quite a feat on itself and I have to thank the ARC August challenge for helping me reach this goal!  I've managed to get through a good bit of ARCs for this month and even though I still have a bit more ARCs to go through, I'm so glad that I've managed to get through a good bit of ARCs this month!

    Looks like a very good reading month and Comic Con must have been a fabulous event to attend.

    Eeep, I LOVED Made You Up so so much too!! It's been a few years since I read it but I'm desperate to reread, particularly since I read the author's new book (Eliza And Her Monsters) and it was SO GOOD TOO OMG. Glad you had a good month and that's awesome about the comic con!!

    Storm would make a fun character to go as next year! I've never been to one but hope to go one day. I read Caraval and loved it. I have THUG checked out from the library to get started on soon. Congrats on a great blogging month!
