August 2018 & N.E.W.T.s Reading Wrap Up! + August Vlog

Y'all... staying on top of my internet and reading game has been a bit of a struggle for me lately. Transitioning into my new position, learning my new schedule, trying to fit in quality time with Brett... it's been tough to balance! Hence why I'm finally posting my August wrap up on the blog a solid ten days into September. I'm optimistic that it will even itself out eventually but for now I'm just doing what I can to stay on top of everything. That being said, I did get a decent amount of reading done in the month of August despite the insanity, and I actually did surprisingly well in the N.E.W.T.s readathon! Hopefully next time around I can do even better. :)

AUGUST VLOG

Going along the theme of being insanely busy, I only really had the energy to vlog #ReadYourFaceOff in the month of August. I did have a lot of fun celebrating my BookTube bday with the RYFO fam, though, and playing BINGO throughout the day was an extra bonus! I hope whoever was able to participate in August had just as much fun as I did!
