June Wrap Up

Happy Birthday to me! This June Wrap Up is basically a homage to all that I did during my birthday month…which was basically everything and nothing all at the same time. I threw caution to the wind and literally did and read whatever my heart felt like (except for that one ARC–I had to keep that on the schedule). And you know what? It was so much fun. I went on a much needed vacation to the beach with some of my favorite people, and got to bask in the aesthetic that is reading on the beach (which I enjoyed more than I thought I would? side note: a kindle/e-reader is definitely better to read on the beach with than an iPad–even if you have the anti-glare protector on it) I was completely thriving last month and I loved being able to follow where my mood took me in terms of what I wanted to read–and I enjoyed so much more content than before.

Color me stunned!

Now, lets grab some of your favorite popcorn, some more Aloe Vera (because wow I am STILL sunburned from my beach vacation), and lets check out the stories I consumed in the last 31 days!
