Hello readers! This has been a whirlwind of a month for me!
I finished my last paper so I will be an official graduate of The Ohio State University come August! Not only that, but I have been making strides to be more professional, which is a fancy way of saying my resume looks much better than it did a few weeks ago. I will soon be putting out applications to jobs, and I’m incredibly anxious about it. I’m a creature of habit, so being out of my current job soon and hopefully into a new one is panic-inducing, and I’m trying to keep my head on straight.
BUT, as a graduation gift to myself, I decided to go to New Orleans with my aunt for a few days. It was soooo much fun and I fell in love with the city. Oddly enough, we didn’t go to Bourbon Street. I’m not much of a drinker, plus my aunt and I preferred art galleries over saloons lol. I was able to finally relax and have been thinking about finally moving out of Ohio ever since my trip. I’m not much of a traveler so I was inspired to see more of the world and now I want to leave a state I’ve called home for a very long time in order to see more of my own country.
I also started the blog you’re reading now and have put in many hours on here. I actually really enjoy writing reviews and reading books so I’m happy to know I’ve found a little hobby to do in my spare time.
Now that you’ve been updated on my personal life, let’s get to the best part of the recap….THE BOOKS!!!!
I went into this month fully prepared to bury myself in as many stories I could find, and I lived up to my expectation. I’m not technically counting the first book in the list, because I started it in May and finished it in June, but I’m still listing it here.
