July 2023
July was a bit of a blur. I feel like I was really busy but as I sit down to write this post, I can’t remember what I actually did. I read as much as I could, did a few family things, and hung out with my dogs (and my husband). I spent quite a bit of time applying for part-time jobs, interviewing for a couple, and ultimately starting my new job at Barnes & Noble.
I continue to plug away at Instagram and am still having fun doing it. I can usually work most of the things that I do on the app into my workday so it is a bit easier to keep up. I am ending the month with 5,544 followers (I post this stat for myself so I can track my growth).

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for August?
Wow great month Carole thanks for sharing
That’s great that you can manage you IG account and are enjoying it <- that's the most important thing. I can't wait to hear what you think of Change of Plans. I loved that one so much
July flew by for me too. You have a nice mix of books. I’ve been wanting to try feeney…
Looks like an excellent month with some really great and a variety of reads.
Sounds like you definitely had a good month. I actually just got Star Bringer from the library last night. I requested it after I saw your review. Hope I love it!
You definitely had a busy July if all the things I’m remembering from Sunday Posts is enough to go by. Hopefully, your August will be smooth and easier.
Way to go on your reading numbers, Carole!
Looks like you had a great reading month! I’m looking forward to that new Sandra Brown. Just put a hold on it at the library.
Legends and lattes! I checked my online store, but so expensive, so will wait a bit
Good luck with the new job! It’s awesome that you still have time for your Instagram account. I abandoned mine. I hope you have a great August.
You had quite the month! I’m terrible at Instagram but I love seeing your pictures as well as some of my other bookish friends’. Happy August!
I wish I could read this much books in a month and such different genres too! Love your blog =)
I know what you mean about it being a blur. You read some great books. I have Star Bringer on my list.
