Oh thank goodness, it looks like I’ll manage to get this review up today after all!
I planned to write this up much earlier, but my internet decided to inconveniently stop working so I couldn’t actually write it up. Isn’t that just always the way? *sigh*
But we’re here now.

Did anyone else feel like July dragged?
As in, dragged along like a rock tied around a snail shell while the little creature treks it’s way across a mile long field while avoiding circling birds.
Because I sure do.
PS. It’s really rather difficult to hold this many books. They’re heavy and slide around, you know!

Here you see a wonderfully new idea (which is probably neither wonderful or new) for a feature I’ve added to my blog.
Sunday Status
(I couldn’t think of a better, snappier name. I apologize)
This won’t be a weekly thing, just something to go up every so often. As you guys know, Sundays are the day my “random” posts go up – whether that be something creative, a top 10, recommendations…and now, possibly a Sunday Status.
So, this feature is a place where I can update you guys on anything book related – what I’m currently reading, what’s coming soon on my blog etc – and tell any stories that have made me reading life a little more interesting lately. Hence why it’s not a weekly thing, because my reading life (or just my life in general) is rarely interesting enough to have stories to tell.

You know when you sort of keep buying books and you really want to read them all but you don’t know when that’ll happen so you keep planning to read them soon and then you end up in a huge tangle of “oh my goodness what do I read now?!?”
Well, that’s basically what this post is.
I suppose this is a TBR, since I’m actually planning on reading these.
But these books are the books I hope to read this summer – well, all the books that I OWN that I plan to read. No doubt I’ll end up buying more. And obviously I’ll be reading more than just these books.
This was originally going to be a Top 10 post, but …well…there’s more than ten 😀
But anyway, I’m rambling.

I got a lot of books this month. A LOT.
But it was my birthday, so I guess it’s excusable?
But I’m not even sorry. My reading material is sorted for a few months now so I’m happy. Plus I’ve been really wanting most of these books for months now, so…yeah.
This post will be long enough on it’s own, so I won’t ramble any longer.
This will be in three sections: books I got before my birthday, ON my birthday, and after.
*All reviews I write will be spoiler free*
I finally finished Outlander!
This book is huge. Over 800 pages. That combined with going back to college…well, it took a while to read this book. About 2 weeks I think?
But I’m so glad I read it!
I’d heard so many people talking about this, including one of my favourite Booktubers -Sasha Alsberg – so of course I was going to get round to it at some point.
And now that I have, here’s my review!
