Hello friends! As usual, I hope that everyone is staying safe. August was a pretty chill month for me. I mood read quite a bit this month and I really enjoyed it. We are going to ignore the fact that I didn’t pick up one ARC in August. I had so many 2 star reads sadly. Is there anything worse than finally getting to books you wanted to read but they end up disappointing? What kind of made up for that was the fact that I reread quite a bit and I’m so surprised by how happy that made me.
I’m still obsessed as ever with Animal Crossing and I’ve actually turned on a TV to watching something other than K-Pop videos. Who am I? Side note, is anyone else really for fall? I sure am, this Houston summer is draining me.
Enough with the update, let’s jump into my wrap up for August!
Music
Let me tell y’all. I have become obsessed with a new K-Pop group. Treasure debuted this month and I have been doing nothing but listening to their songs and watching their fan content on YouTube. This group preforms like a well aged group even though they . I can’t wait to see what next we will get from them!
TV
I FINALLY watched something! I am in the middle of watching the anime Toradora and I’m really enjoying it so far. The two main characters don’t know it yet, but they belong together!
Books
Now to the main reason of this post, the books! This month I’ve read 20 things this month.

I don’t know if I’m ready for fall yet. I just think rain and gloom and that just depresses me. I’m enjoying our 70-80 degree Seattle weather right now. Plus, school starts for my kid Thursday, and I just don’t know if I’m ready for that either. It’s all virtual, but it just sounds like a lot of making sure stuff gets done for me.
Sorry you didn’t have a lot of hits this month. It is really nice that you got to mood read, though!

I’m so jealous of the weather y’all are having! It’s been high 90’s and humid here. How’s the school going?

Well, now it’s 90 so don’t be too jealous. We’re having weird weather, wind storms, and fires here. It is no fun. School is good! Seems to have started out on the right track — although our internet doesn’t like the 3 of us on at one time. UGH

Toradora is such a cute anime! I watched this a while back and loved it! I don’t know if you’ve watched it or not, but I’d recommend also watching Yamada Kun and the 7 Witches. 🙂

Hey you! I hope September is better for you with some quality reads.
I just got into K Pop so I’m going to check Treasure out. I’ve heard of them but haven’t taken the time to check them out. I’m more into the R&B stuff right now but I really like BTS’ stuff so I’m wondering who else I should check out. Any recommendations? 🙂
