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!

You had a great month, Julie. I see you had a nice mix of genres and all relatively good reads. Great.
Yes! It was a pretty great reading month. My mobility was so limited that I spent a lot of time resting and reading! 🙂
Sorry to hear you have not been able to get around, but glad that you were able to read and rest.
Thank you! I’m feeling much better now and got the ok from my doctor to resume most of my normal activities, which is great. I can finally get back out in my garden again!!
That will feel good, getting out in the garden. Glad to hear it.
