September Monthly Wrap Up (2018)

Off the Blog:

Hey everyone! I can't believe that September is already over!  Not much really happened in September, other than what was going on with Hurricane Florence and that we went to the Greek Festival in South Carolina.  I was so happy that Hurricane Florence didn't really hit us (although the worst we got was some bad weather).  But, I do feel bad for the people who were hit by it. I hope everyone is doing okay.  Meanwhile, even though we didn't really do any of the activities at the Greek Festival, I still loved the food there, especially the sandwiches and I would love to go there again next year (and hopefully, get more involved in the activities they have there)!

On the Blog:

Unfortunately, my reading was a bit off this month as I only got one book in, which is disappointing after I had a fantastic reading month in August.  Hopefully, October will be way better this time around, especially since I got a lot of Halloween themed books stacked up to read!
