My SEPTEMBER Book Haul and Wrap Up, and my OCTOBER TBR 2018

Hello, friends!!! 

Is it just me, or does September feel like the longest and shortest month out of the whole year? It really feels like it takes forever to get through, but once the month ends, it feels like it went by so quickly, lol! It must be because it's "back-to-school" month for us and we're all just getting used to our new schedules and routines... it's been tough! Three kids in three different schools, I am now a full-time chauffeur and it's been hard - my anxiety is just not getting along... other than that, everyone is adjusting and doing well! Which is all I can ask for :) 

How was your September??? 

Now, let's talk about BOOKS!!!

My JULY Book Haul and Wrap Up, and my AUGUST TBR 2018

Hello, friends!!! 

I really hope that you are all doing well and have been reading a lot of GOOD books!

I have to admit, my anxiety has been really bad lately and it is exhausting. I think I've been trying too hard, which then overwhelms me, and then I end up not accomplishing much of anything. I have a ton of ideas written down in a notebook, blog posts that are half-finished just sitting (over 40 of them!!!), pictures that sit on my phone and never get posted on Instagram... It's been an endless cycle. However! The motivation to get over the slump is strong and I hope to get back into the swing of things regularly... even with our school schedule starting next month! I feel it may be a good thing to have a busy schedule again!

October Book Haul, Wrap-Up, and November TBR 2017

Hello, fellow bookworms!!! 

Wow, I cannot believe how quickly October went and that we are already in November and the weather is chilly and that it's time to start preparing ourselves for the holidays!

I had a really good bookish month! I hope you did as well!!!

However, the reason why you won't find any "book pile pics" today is that I managed to not only lose my camera but my phone decided to die too, lol! So I'll be pretty quiet on my social media for the next few weeks while I try to replace both... but in the meantime, here's a wrap-up of my October and a peek at my November bookish endeavors :)
