Wrap Up For August 2022

 

August was a decent reading month for me, especially considering we got Violet at the end of July.  She’s been keeping us busy.

July 2022 Wrap Up

 

I didn’t read as much as I hoped in July, but part of that was because we were looking to adopt a dog.  I finally found the right one and we were in the car for about 20 hours to adopt her two states away.

June 2022 Wrap Up

 

I somehow read a lot in June even though we had things going on every weekend.  I’m really happy with how much I was able to read when home.

May 2022 Wrap Up

 

May was a bad month for us, so I’m not sure how I got so much reading done.  Our almost 10 year old Catahoula, Ripley, had some seizures.  They were caused by a brain tumor we didn’t know he had.  He had no symptoms before the first seizure and he was still super active. We thought we’d have a few more months with him, but he went downhill fast.  Losing him was the hardest thing.  He was definitely my soul dog.  Two days later, our 17 Shih Tzu, Dexter, passed.  He had a super long life and he passed quietly in his sleep.  It was a lot of days spent crying and stressing out.  We can never replace Ripley.  He was special and the smartest dog I’ve ever known.  But we did put down a deposit to get on a wait list for a Catahoula puppy this fall.  Fingers crossed that the litter has what we’re looking for.  I can’t get a dog that looks like Ripley, so we’re being picky.

This is a picture of Ripley from last year.

April 2022 Wrap Up

 

April ended up being a great reading month for me.  I was a bit sick for part of the month, so I spent more time laying down and reading.

March 2022 Wrap Up

 

I’m actually surprised I ended up reading so much in March.  Because of vacation, I didn’t finish my first book until 3/7.  I was able to catch up though and it ended up being a good month.

February 2022 Wrap Up

 

My reading was pretty decent in February.  Not as good as January.  But to be honest, I don’t think I’ll ever read that many books in one month again.  I wish I could though because my TBR keeps growing.

These are in no particular order.

November 2021 Wrap Up

 

November was a bit slower for me and I read shorter books.  But I still had a good month and had a couple new favorites.

These are in no particular order.

October 2021 Wrap Up

 

I had a pretty good reading month for October and I loved a lot of what I read.  These are in no particular order.

July 2021 Wrap Up

 

July was an ok reading month for me.  I thought I was reading more than I was, but I still read quite a few good books.
