Apologies for being a slacker! Please ignore the collar shaking/licking by my dog, Chewie. He decided filming time was cleaning time.
And I forgot to mention this while filming, but I'm no longer doing weekly updates since that was taking time and energy away from other content. I might replace with vlogs in the future should I figure out how to edit in a reasonable manner.
If you've read any of the books I've mentioned, please feel free to let me know what you thought and wish you the best in your September reading!

It was a fairly productive week so I'm happy with my reading but still running behind in my overly ambitious buddy read mountain of a TBR.
Please note there will be mild spoilers in the currently reading section because I'll be talking about my feelings so far on the books that I'm reading. I won't be getting into in depth spoilers but if you don't want any at all, please feel free to skip around using the timestamps.
I hope y'all are having a good August so far and let me know your thoughts if you have read any of these and what you're reading so far this month!
