🌿 JUNE reading 🌿
It’s time for another monthly reading recap!
I can’t believe I didn’t post this sooner! It’s the last day of July and I’m just now posting my June recap. 😅 It just kept getting away from me this month. I actually considered not posting this at all and have been strongly considering moving away from monthly wrap-ups. It’s tough to decide, because I like having these posts to look back on later, and I think they’re fun to read on other people’s blogs… but I actually hate writing recap posts. 😬
I’m going to go ahead and write up a shortened version of one for June and I’ll probably write one for July as well, but starting with August’s reading updates, I might go back to weekly check-ins and drop monthly wrap-ups altogether. Maybe instead of a monthly wrap-up, I’ll start doing more in-depth quarterly recaps and posting reviews on here more often? 🤔 I dunno. A lot feels “in limbo” with this blog for me right now, to tell you all the truth.

I didn’t do much damage in June, but I did get quite a few used books! I took a huge box of books to trade in at my local used bookstore and got a LOT of store credit, so I was able to haul quite a bit without spending it all. I also had a pre-order come in and got a gift from Misty!
