Month in Review:
August 2017
I hope you all remembered your tickets to Hogwarts, because today's the day!
Can you believe it's already September? I truly don't know where this year has gone. September means I'm moving and I'm not ready for that! This is also the first September since I first started schooling that I do not have to go back to school. It's an incredibly weird feeling, and although I am somewht relieved, I also sort of miss it. Plus, I loved shopping for school supplies? There's nothing better than a fresh notebook.
But on to the books! I apparently read less books than last month, which is odd considering how many I felt like I read. Regardless, I still had a great reading month and am now ready for this month's releases! All of my blog activities from August can be found below.
How was your August reading month?
