It's that time again! This year is flying by and every month I do my goals and can't believe how quickly everything is going. And to tell you the truth, it's not a bad thing. First of all, August is my birthday month (Aug 5, holla holla.) And while I'm not one of those girls who require an entire month of celebrations, I still tend to enjoy the whole month more than others. It's also the month I'm going on vacation which I can't even tell you how much I'm looking forward to. Sad my husband will not be able to come but excited for him to start his new job. At the end of this month, the hubs and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary as well which blows my mind. Do we officially graduate out of "newlyweds" after year one or does it last until year 5 or something? I don't know but I'm definitely looking forward to eating our cake.
I'm also ok with this year flying by because my husband and I are kind of in limbo with our future. He is trying to figure out what the next step is and it requires a lot of moving pieces which I'm waiting to fall into place. I would be nice to know what the future may resemble but even if we don't get that lucky, we are getting pretty good at this fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants thing. And that will work until babies. No more flying and lack of plans when babies come. That would kill this mama. Alas, I have completely drifted off into bookish and not so bookish thoughts a la Christine but let's rear it back in to focus on reading goals for this month!
Read:
Horns
How I Live Now
Currently Read:
Helter Skelter: Close to finishing off this book but the 800ish pages slowed me down a little.
Look at that, I actually achieved my goals! It always feels nice to look back and feel good that I stuck with it and even managed to review a big chunk of them before this post. Go me! Now for August:
Real Books
Got this in my BookRiot monthly box and am super excited to read it. It will be my first Rainbow book and after a couple other bloggers recently reviewed this, I think that if I like this one, I will love her others. Yay!
Even though I didn't really like this movie, I'm really looking forward to reading this. It also nails one of my challenge prompts so win-win.
E-Books
Yes, I'm working through my TBR list alphabetically and I have two books of similar names on this month. Adding these books I realize I know almost nothing about most of them. I add them to my TBR for various reasons and just trust myself that I wouldn't have added them if I didn't have a reason at the time. All of these look vaguely familiar and I'm looking forward to them but not entirely sure of the premises. I also decided to include 10 books this month because I'm going on vacation and hoping to get an extremely large amount of reading done (if I have any say in it.) Woo Hoo for new books!!!!
I am SO EXCITED for you to read the Light Between the Oceans! I loved that book! Legend is definitely one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI know, me too!!! Every time I'm in a book store I almost buy Light Between the Oceans even though I already have it in ebook. I don't know why, but I'm just drawn to it! Super excited to finally read both of those books!
DeleteHey girl! Happy Almost birthday! I hope you get ALL THE CAKE. And probably some books. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! My husband is in charge of cake so hopefully he comes through and I already splurged this weekend on some "birthday" books. Shhh!
