August 2021 Currently Reading & TBR

Whether you read a few books a year or a few hundred, time is your most precious commodity. Check in monthly for my notes on new and backlist books I’m currently reading to find out whether or not they’re worth the time and worthy of your TBR list!

We recently went on vacation to our favorite place, Oregon! As a book lover you know I made it a point to visit as many indie bookstores as we could fit in. Supporting small indie bookstores is so incredibly important, not to mention so much more fun than regular book shopping. In Bend we visited Dudley’s and Round About Books, in Sisters we visited Paulina’s and in Portland we of course visited Powell’s!

What’s on My TBR?

One of the best things about becoming a bookstagrammer and book blogger is getting free books to review! Over time as I’ve grown as a blogger, I’ve been given the opportunity to connect with authors, publishers, and marketing teams. Getting book mail is by far the best thing ever, right?

To keep things more organized, I’m updating the layout of this monthly page. Please use the link below to see the latest:
