Welcome to my monthly wrap-up! This was a weird month for me. Reading-wise, it was awesome! I read a ton of amazing books, several of which were my most anticipated reads of 2021.
Physically, it’s been a difficult month for me. I had surgery at the end of April, and I couldn’t do much this month other than walk and rest. No housework, no lifting, no gardening, nothing!! Under doctors orders, I can’t lift anything over 10 pounds, so I’ve had to rely on my husband and kids to do a lot of the work around the house. I can’t even pick up my dog, which stinks. So, with nothing to do but walk and rest, I slept A LOT and read even more!!
Other than reading and blogging, I rewatched Shadow and Bone. So good!!
I Read 26 Books!

Yes! It was a pretty great reading month. My mobility was so limited that I spent a lot of time resting and reading! 🙂
