Summer Wrap Up

Man y’all, I’ve been so bad about wrap-ups and TBRs, which makes me kind of sad, because I generally love wrap-ups and TBRs! Hopefully by doing a wrap-up for the summer (June, July, and August) now, I’ll get back on track and maybe I’ll post a TBR soon too… Besides books, this summer was full of trying new recipes- my mom’s birthday was in July so I made this dark chocolate buttermilk cake with an espresso swiss meringue buttercream that was so good (and so fun to make) for that! I also went to a bunch of great workout classes and prepped for my gym to expand to a second location! We also had a mini family reunion at my aunt and uncle’s house in Northern Virginia and of course, I worked A TON. So all in all, a pretty successful summer!

ARC Review: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne

Thank you so much to Gallery books and Netgalley for letting me read an eARC of To Sir, With Love! This book was everything I wanted from a summer read and I definitely think y’all should go grab it now (especially since it’s out now)!

To Sir, With Love 4/5 Stars

May Wrap Up and June TBR

Oof man y’all, this month has totally gotten away from me! Can y’all believe that we’re already 1/3 of the way done with June?! I’m just glad I’m finally getting this wrap up/TBR done and written haha

Let’s talk about May- I was overly ambitious in my goals and all of the books I checked out from the library and honestly, ever since I started my new job in mid April and I started going back to the gym more, I’ve been reading less and less, so I definitely didn’t read anywhere close to what I had planned/wanted to for May, but I also wasn’t going to stress myself out about reading more, so I’m actually very happy with what I did read!
