Evolving Perceptions

Hi lovelies! I am actually proud of my wrap up for this month. I did a Birthday readathon this month and I was able to read a lot of my books that have been in my TBR pile for a while such as Kingdom of Ash and The President is Missing. My goal for this month is to read 10 books and I did read 10 books. I wanted to really a lot of books this month especially since school have started and looking at the syllabus of my class I won't be have the time to read as much as I want. So moving on here are the books that I read:  1. A Flair for Flip Flops by Deborah Garner  I received a copy of this book in exchanged for an honest review.  I had a hard time getting into the story because it was the 5th book of a series and I usually want to read book one first but once I read past 50 pages I got hooked into the story. It is a light read which is perfect for a summer read by the poolside. It is comparable to Nancy Drew since both characters both amateur detectives and their stor...

This is my wrap up for my Birthday readathon, which I did last September 13-20, 2019. I decided to do this readathon because I have a lot of books on my TBR and I really want to read all of my books in my bookshelf before I buy more books. I think this is a good way for me to read a lot. It definitely helped me motivate myself into reading a lot this week. Also, I am going back to school so I wanted to read more before school starts because once I get back to school. I won't be able to read books as much as I want. So here is a weekly recap of my week.

I was struck with the biggest reading slump at the end of June and the beginning of July. I just kept on picking up books and reading but my mind began to wander and I would just scroll on my phone and go in social media instead of reading. I don't know if it's because of my school work that just made lazy to read after studying long periods of time. I also realize that I began to become so emotional and moody, and all I wanted to do was to sleep and I would sleep for long periods but when I woke up I was still tired. There was even a day where I slept for 16 hours straight.  Before the start of the third week of July, I really forced myself to read and finish a book. The book that I was currently reading at that time was Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. It was a good book but I had no motivation to finish it. I was not as interested in reading as I was before. I think it took me a week to finish the book. I really enjoyed it and I would read it again to full...
