13 books! I beat my total from last month! I honestly could have done more but there was one point in the month where I got lazy. Also most of these were books I got from my digital library since all my holds came in at practically the same time!
Highlight Book(s): Fireborne was really good, but it can’t top the emotions I went through while rereading TLC and The Penderwicks!
Lowliest Book(s): The Court of Miracles and Salty, Bitter, Sweet really lacked for me.
The Haul
NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHINGGGGGG.
Nothing except for digital library books.
Other Going Ons
I only have one summer course and it is really out to get me
I had so many things planned to do while I was home and since I was only taking one course I thought that I could keep up with my art projects and reading schedules but no. Of course not. Here I am struggling to learn and have fun at the same time. While I can’t say the course is very stressful, it is heavy and I resent having to take it. But it is what it is and I hope I at least learn something!
Penguin Teen Virtual Events
Penguin Teen Canada has hosted some pretty cool virtualΒ events this month and I was so grateful to be a part of them! My partner and I even won the Trivia Night they had one day and I was so excited! So many great authors joined in, including Marie Lu!!!! It was just a great way to spend Friday nights talking about books!
