Goodbye, July!

July seemed like a blip in the timeline of this summer. Then again, June was long as hell. Maybe August will be a nice mix of the two...

2024 Resolutions:

     (1) Don't stop reading
            (b) Complete Monthly Reading Challenge(s)
     (2) Make memories
     (3) Share love of books/writing
     (4) Be kinder to myself

(1) Books read this month: 44 (might get one more in there before midnight though).
    (b) Monthly Reading Challenge(s): Shape = Sun. Got some A-Z stuff recorded. Some serious ARCs. 

(2) July Memories: Lots of babysitting (some decent money). Some lazy af days (muuuuuch needed). A great dinner/evening out with friends. Some job interviews; some job disappointments. BUT my sister was in town for a week so there was a lot of (also much needed) family time, memories made, food eaten, laughter laughed, drinks drunk. 

(3) Posts this month (including this one): 38.

(4)  Another rollercoaster. Again, this month was a blip, so right now, looking back, I can't say for sure one way or the other how this month went. There were some fabulous and exciting and eventful days, but there were some longer, dragging days were my social battery was empty as hell. August, how you want to do this?

Anyone still holding onto their resolutions?

Any exciting August reads?
Anything I should check out?
