Monthly Wrap Up | August 2026

Oh August was quite a reading month for me – I had so many arcs to get through. 😩. I feel like August went by slowly because my kids went back to school and we got into a routine. So I cranked out reading as much arcs as I could but I’m still behind on September arcs. 😅
