Thanks! I think it turned out to be a good time. I pulled myself out of my reading slump so that’s a definite win. 😀

Mood reading has gotten me through most of this year. I used to make strict lists and it got me into too many slumps. Hope this week goes amazingly for you!! 🙂 Happy reading!

I’m learning to let go of my lists in this regard. I used to try and go by a list of books to read each month. This past month I just picked up books until I found one that worked and I’ve had a pretty good month!
It was great! I hope your’s went well too.

wow, great numbers here! and your theme is so cute. One day, I swear, I’ll self-host to pick a cute theme

Thank you! It was a good read-a-thon and I actually 100% updated my post and it’s been awhile since I’ve done that! Yay!!
And thank you! I had Ashley from Nose Graze do my theme. I certainly couldn’t have pulled it together!

Doing a great job with your numbers! Keep up the good work! 😊
