Guess who didn’t get a spike of reading inspiration until the end of the month?
ME. I DID. Can’t really say it was much though, but it was still something.
Low key, I kind of really wanted this month to end, it gave me bad vibes. But also, it’s my birthday month, even though I’m not the most festive person.
- Get a Life, Chloe Brown {The Brown Sisters #1} – Talia Hibbert ✰✰✰✰✰ reread
- Where Dreams Descend {Kingdom of Cards #1} – Janella Angeles ✰✰✰✰ RTC
- Real Men Knit – Kwana Jackson DNF @ 75%
- Shall We Dance? {Dance with Me #1} – Shelley Shepard Gray ✰✰✰
Just realized I reread Get a Life, Chloe Brown two months in a row. So there’s that.
I was A LOT more productive this past month, so you may have missed some things:
I did a promotional post for the Steel Prince graphic novels and gave myself some mid year goals I’m actually??? sticking to???
I talk about being dramatic when recommending books and did the summer vibes book tag... haven’t done a tag in a while, so it was fun ❤ .
I did my first Top Ten Tuesday in a few months and made an #ARCAugust TBR.
- The Sound of Stars – Alechia Dow DNF
- Beach read – Emily Henry ✰✰✰✰
- A Heart so Fierce and Broken – Brigid Kemmerer ✰✰✰
It’s been… a month, if I’m honest. I’ve broken my unintentional book buying ban and bought some reads, I’ve been working too many hours and started a new game!
I started (and finished) POSE in two days… watched Hamilton, I’m NOT okay. And I’ve been on Twitter/Tik Tok A LOT this month. A lot more than usual. That’s about it.
Honestly I’m super proud of my blog right now… it’s been a while since I’ve had this feeling. Not saying I haven’t been proud of this thing, but I feel rejuvenated or refreshed enough to get some content out.
One thing I do want to mention that made my ENTIRE MONTH was Book Princess Reviews and Belle Rose Reads both nominated me for the 2020 Blogger Awards! Not to get all sappy, but I never even considered being in one of these things, so thank you for even thinking of me <3.
What have you all been up to? Any good reads lately? Does anyone want to buddy read Lair of Dreams with me? Let me know in the comments below!
Ahhhh congrats on the nominations!! I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on when dreams descend! I haven’t seen many people post about it but I’m def interested in reading it.

Happy belated birthday! Also, I feel like so many people were dealing with a reading slump early this July, so you’re definitely not alone in that! Congratulations on the nominations as well 🖤

When you’re working a ton of hours, you *deserve* to break a book buying ban!! (I hope I’m not being an enabler here lol~) A while back, my sister and I made a nice meal, and were all ready to have a Hamilton watch party, but then our internet crashed. Soooooo another day I guess?
You’re welcome for the nomination (again), I really hope it brings more people around to your blog!! They need to see what they’re missing!

I won’t *stop* you from being an enabler……. XD
And when you finally watch Hamilton, you’ll have to scream about it with me… (spoiler, I’m obsessed lol) 💜
