October 2021 TBR
September has come to an end, so it's time to share my October TBR! And for this month, I'm actually planning on doing something a little bit unconventional for me and not (fully) planning out my reading. This is especially abnormal for me because I enjoy picking out...

#goodreadance2021: It’s Time to Get Organized!
I have a list of admin tasks in my planner that I save for when I have time to complete them. And lately, an overwhelming majority of those tasks that I’ve been neglecting have to do with the blog and the state of my shelves. Luckily, it looks like I have the opportunity to do so with #goodreadance2021! This challenge is hosted by Shealea @ Shut Up, Shealea and this round is running from September to the end of November. This challenge is an opportunity for participants to organize their reading, including their Goodreads shelves, physical shelves, reviews, and more. You can find out all of the details on Shealea’s blog.
Today I’m sharing which goals I’m working towards over the course over #goodreadance2021. I’ll also be wrapping up this challenge once it’s over with my results – stay tuned!

August 2021 Wrapup
With August over, it’s time to share my reading wrap-up. This past month, I read seven books. While this definitely is not a small number of books to have read, I think this is actually the least I’ve read in a month in a long time. I think this month really has been different for me in terms of where I had to set my priorities. Plus, I had to switch my medication, and the fatigue has been real. But with that aside, although I didn’t have any five-star reads this month, I did end up with plenty of four-star reads, and that’s really good too.
Starting this new medication has served as a sort of reset for me throughout August. I’ve been taking the time to really declutter every aspect of my life, not only physically but also mentally – so that I can make space for what really matters. I’ve also been thinking about how I want to take my career from here, which means that I’ve started studying for my next certification (and hope to take the exam this month!). This month has also been spent well with family and friends, which may have also been a contributing factor to less reading this month!
Anyway, here’s everything I read this month. I hope you found some great new books this month too!
