Wait... is this real? Am I actually posting? And a wrap up? Yep, if you've been along for a while you know what this means: it means an apology.
Where have I been? School has 100% taken over my life. I haven't finished any books in like two weeks (and not for lack of trying!) and the one hour of free time I had recently (besides this) I used to catch up on my sleep. One of the reasons school has been keeping me so busy is because I've been trying to get a head start on this weekend and next weekend and also the weekend after that. In order: this weekend I celebrated (and am celebrating) my birthday and several of my friend's birthdays (go Libras!). And, yep, you heard that right, tomorrow is my 21st birthday! It probably won't be that unlike any other birthday (except that I have my fingers crossed for a new phone... we'll see if the fates align) since I don't really plan on drinking at all. I will admit I have been feeling older lately, probably because I've been spending time with freshman and as awesome as they are there's definitely a difference. Next weekend I'm heading home to work, which'll be great (slight sarcasm), and I'll be taking as much free time as I can get while I'm there and just enjoying being in a familiar place. And the weekend after that I'm heading to House on the Rock (AKA one of my favorite places ever) for a school project (I'm not mad at all it's gonna be awesome AF).
So, the rest of this wrap up may be a bit sad seeing as I haven't really been reading...
Finished
Currently Reading
So I was reading Outlander but it's dragging (or maybe that's just my feet...) so I picked up The Language of Thorns. After this I think I'll get to an ARC (possibly Frankie? We'll see) and after that who knows! I threw out my TBR list because I'm trying to read more spontaneously.

I actually don't know. I don't know at all. Expect to see a review sooner than later but honestly this month I have nearly nothing scheduled and even those few posts aren't even finished yet so it could be a while. I'm really sorry that this month is gonna be so rough but in November things should start to peek up sharply. Thanks for sticking around!

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a stupendous celebration of you! So, I fell in love with the show Outlander, and thought I should read the books. All started out well, but once Claire went back in time, I found it such a chore to read. I should have known it was be a little difficult, since just listening to the people speak with the accents is harder, but reading it was making me nuts. Therefore, I did DNF.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!! I was hoping to read the books then see the show but I'm seriously considering just watching it at this point. Yeah the accents are killing me! It takes me twice as long to read a sentence when it's written with an accent and yet I still manage to give them an American accent in my head lol.
DeleteHappy birthday, Sam!
ReplyDeleteHouse on the Rock is so cool! It's been ages since I've been up that way...
When I read Outlander, it definitely dragged in spots I thought - could have been a good 200-300 pages shorter without hurting the plot. I like the show a bit more actually. :)
Thank you!
DeleteYeah I went up there a bit ago and was charmed but also found it strange at the same time.
Oh man 200-300 pages shorter? I barely hit 100 if that's what's in store for me I may just DNF and skip to the show then.
It would be a bit weird if you didn't think so...! :)
DeleteI actually listened to it on audiobook and the narrator did a pretty job with it.
