Wow, is this what it feels like to actually be productive again? Honestly it’s such a relief to finally be getting back to my old routine with reading and blogging. I’m still working on it but thank you all for bearing with me! My anxiety has kept me from commenting, reading, and blogging but I’m finally feeling like I can do this again!
There’s nothing wrong with posting your wrap up in the middle of the month, right? I’m finally getting into reading more after what feels like an entire year long slump. Better late than never.
I’m just gonna slide back in here and act like I haven’t been MIA for 2 months….
Also always looking for an excuse to use ‘John Wick’ gifs. Sorry, the unannounced break was needed apparently. I have been out of the loop and I actually hate not knowing what’s going on in the book community, I’ve missed it! Without further ado here’s my (mostly reading) wrap ups for May and June!
Alright! We are going to actually do the Wrap Up now at the beginning of the month! And I’m going to post, and read, and reply to all of your wonderful comments! Motivation!
I actually feel like I’m finally getting out of my slump! It’s about time! Hopefully I’ll be even more on track this month too. I honestly can’t thank you all enough for being the wonderful, supportive people that you are! It’s helped me out so much!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m stuck in an eternal slump. Please send help! I honestly think the cure for me would be to take a break from review copies and read the books I have that I’ve been dying to read. I just have so many review copies I still need to finish that I feel guilty doing that but it’d be better than this endless “everything slump”!
Thank you all for your comments and support, know that I appreciate it all even if I’m still really absent!
I’m at the point where I’m just hoping the new year will re-motivate me for blogging and reading. I mean look at me! Posting my wrap-up on the 11th! I never wait this long! I just don’t feel like doing anything and it’s awful! I’ve been complaining about this slump since August and here I am….December and still complaining. This wrap up doesn’t even feel like a wrap up because I just haven’t really done as much as I normally do! Oh well, I’ve tried not to be too hard on myself for it because I could use a break but if I can still post sometimes and do a small break I feel it’ll help.
Hopefully 2019 will get me my groove back!
I didn’t get quite as much reading done as I would have liked but I was happy with the books I did get to, they were all fantastic! However, July has me stuck with a TON of reading to catch up on now. I may or may not be crushed to death by my TBR pile, if you all don’t hear from me that’s probably what happened! Still, I’m looking forward to another great reading month this July, hopefully you all will as well!
I feel like February was kind of an average month for me as far as things go, I didn’t accomplish all that I’d hoped to but I kind of got bogged down reading “The Heart Forger” because the pacing is a bit slow.
I got a few books read and a few posts done but I’m hoping to crack down here in March and get MORE done since I have quite a few books that need to start getting read!
I also decided to start featuring some of my Bookstagram pictures in my monthly wrap-ups, as I had a few of you say you don’t have Instagram but would like to see some of my photos!
I had a pretty great blogging month in December, I’m proud of myself! I’ve started scheduling and pre-planning posts ahead of time and opening up more time for me to read so I’ve been finishing more books as well. Hopefully I can stick to doing things this way as I find it to be a lot more satisfying!
Books Read This Month: 13
I read a mix of books this month some were great, some were “meh”, and some I really didn’t enjoy. I loved “Dear Martin”, “Between the Blade and the Heart”, “A Conspiracy of Stars”, and of course “Paper Girls” and “Saga”. While I thought “Ms. Marvel” and “The Queen’s Rising” were okay but kind of meh. And I REALLY didn’t enjoy “The Wicker King”, “There’s Someone Inside Your House” and “Final Girls”. However, there were more good than bad so that’s always a great thing!
I also actually stuck 100% to my planned monthly TBR, which is kind of a first!

So right now I have like 30 pages left of “Honor Among Thieves” so I’ll be finishing quick here, but I’m kind of underwhelmed by it which is a shame because it sounded great. Then I’ll be moving on to “Heart of Iron” which is another sci-fi and hopefully more enjoyable.
