October 2022 Wrap-Up

Sarah

I know this is a month late and I’m just going to be doing my November wrap-up next week but ya girl is going through it. October itself was pretty low-key, so I’ll save everything else for the November wrap-up (November has been… wild). I actually don’t remember what I read/watched in October so it’ll be fun looking at my spreadsheets and reminiscing.

Books Read:

  • Babel by RF Kuang. 2 stars, review.
  • Book Lovers by Emily Henry. 5 stars.
  • The Elementals by Michael McDowell. 3 stars.

October 2021 Wrap-Up

Sarah

Hi friends! I had a really nice reading month. I’ve decided to stop using the term “reading slump” and to instead refer to it as a “change in interests.” For a while now I’ve been much more interested in video games than reading — which is totally fine! I missed reading a lot, but I’ve been having a lot of fun playing games with friends, and on my own. This month my interests shifted back to reading and I’ve been having a blast blowing through books again. Now I’m missing video games, but they just aren’t capturing my interest at the moment so I’m not forcing it. October went by in a flash and my most notable event has been getting a new tattoo! So check out my little October album at the bottom if you wanna see that. 🙂

October 2020 Wrap-Up

Sarah

Hi friends, I am exhausted. I have continued to do no reading because between the state of the US and grad school, I have no energy and no motivation. Love y’all and hope you’re taking care of yourselves!
