Monthly Recap - wrap up
 

  • An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir {★★★★★}: Um I absolutely ADORED this book. The world is fantastic and the characters are amazing and gahhh can’t wait to read the rest of the series! Read my review here
  • A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab {★★★★☆}: I really enjoyed this book. It took me 5ever to read which is probably why I took off a star. The magic system is really cool and I loved the characters. Again, super excited to continue with the series. Read my review here!
  • Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson {★★★★★}: I totally picked this up on a whim and I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I loved the characters and the story kept me turning the page and now I need to read all Morgan’s books. Click here for my review.

Monthly Recap - random life snippets

  • I’ve had exams for the majority of June and they’re quite important and I got my results and was super shocked. Like they were way better than I thought. Like A’s for some of the subjects so very proud of myself
  • I went go-karting and failed? But it was also really fun even though I completely embarrassed myself *cue nervous laughter*
  • It’s holiday and I have SO MANY things I’d like to do
  • My closest friend had to move which is sad but I also am going to try focus on 1) school work and 2) more life goals like writing (‘ll get to that in a sec) and filming

Monthly Recap - writing
I’ve always wanted to write a book and I’ve just never had the story to tell and one day I was watching a video on YouTube and bam it hit me. I haven’t started writing it yet (I’m a bit scared) but I have characters and a story. The plot hasn’t come together yet but I’m super excited! It’s a contemporary btw and I will have a whole post dedicated to chatting about it so stay tuned for that.
Monthly Recap - Movies & TV Shows
I have watched SO MANY chick flicks you don’t even know. They’re all on my twitter thread but it’s mainly for novel inspiration.
I went to see The Incredibles 2 and it was SO AMAZING that I went to see it twice (!!). I loved it so much and might do a review?
I’m also still watching Once Upon A Time but season 7 is kinda weird so haven’t been in the biggest mood to watch it.
I binged the second season of Famous In Love (I forgot the show existed??) and it definetly isn’t the most amazing show in the world. I liked Paige’s character in season 1 but she annoyed me in this one as well as all the others. But RAINOR omg I would kill for him. He’s such a smol hearted character and I LOVE IT!! He’s the entire reason I continued watching. SO GOOD!
They announced Anne With An E season 2 and I AM HYPED. It’s in about a week and I AM GONNA DIE. I get to see my bae Gilbert again and I AM SO EXCITED YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW!

    I went to Europe for a vacation and it was super fun! I also read a lot of good books which I was so excited about! I also read Since You’ve Been Gone in June! Omg I love To Kill a Kingdom so I hope you really enjoy it! The Incredibles 2 is so good! I would love to see you do a review! And congrats on your writing progress! I also really need to get to An Ember in the Ashes and Children of Blood and Bone! I hope I read because currently I’m in a reading slump but I would hope to read as much as I did in June!
