August Monthly Wrap Up (2023)

 


Off the Blog:


Hey everyone!  Man, it's been awhile, hasn't it?  I haven't done a monthly wrap up since 2020 (which was 3 YEARS AGO)!  Well, a lot has happened over the years and I wasn't able to have enough time to read anymore.  Heck, I haven't been to the library for years either!  Because of the fact that I haven't been reading that much lately, I wasn't able to do any wrap up posts.  So today, is the first time in years that I made a wrap up post and man, a lot has happened to me in August!  So, the first thing that happened in August was my mom's birthday.  We celebrated by having some Red Lobster and everything was delicious!  Also later on in the month, me and my sister went to Soda City Comic Con and we had a fun time there!  We met Summer Glau and Luci Christian and many other celebrities and it was such an honor meeting them!  I also got a lot of awesome goodies there, such as funko pops and art prints!  I hope to go back to comic con next year!




On the Blog:


Despite the fact that I haven't been reading as much as I used to, I have been pretty active on this blog and I've been participating in lots of book memes across the board.  Also, you guys may have noticed that my blog looks very different from years ago.  Well, that's because I put my blog through an overhaul and I love the new look of this blog!  I wanted to update the design of my blog for awhile now and I thought that now was the perfect time to update the look of this blog.  Also, I have been adding more to my Fiverr services over the years, which include my Instagram Book Promotion, Beta Reading and my newest service, reviewing your books!

BEST OF THE MONTH: 







Books Bought in August:


* Luckily, I was able to get some new books! I had signed up for Illumicrate years ago and I'm really loving this book service!








September TBR:


* I'm still currently reading "The Cruel Prince." I know it's been years since I last read "The Cruel Prince," but I'm trying to make my way through reading more books and hopefully, I can get around to these other books as soon as possible.

Hey everyone!  So, I added a new section to my monthly wrap ups. I've been having problems with supporting my blog since I don't have enough funds to update the blog or buy more books to review.  So, if you guys would like to help me update my blog, then your support would mean the world to me!  Here are the sites where you could support my blog:

  1. I haven't been reading as much lately, either - which seems unbelievable to me. I haven't done wrap-ups this year because I just don't have the bandwidth to get everything done!

    1. Yeah, this is the first time in awhile that I did a monthly wrap up. I remembered I used to be able to do monthly wraps frequently. But, ever since I joined YouTube and Twitch, I've been so busy with those sites and I barely had time to read books, which is a shame.
