Monthly Wrap-Up: July, A Celebratory Month Followed by Another One!

→ As I said in my bi-weekly chat, I went to two concerts (Anthony Green and Lynyrd Skynyrd) so that was a lot of fun!  My husband and I also celebrated our FOUR YEAR wedding anniversary! ♥ It was nice to have a little staycation together in a hotel on the beach. It was a very fun month and I’m looking forward to next month as well because it’s my BIRTHDAY MONTH! I want to plan something fun on the blog or bookstagram but I’m not sure what yet. Help a sister out?

→ I don’t have a whole lot else to share. All of my free time has been spent binging Grey’s Anatomy. It’s actually kind of ridiculous how much I’ve watched it. I want to be reading but I. AM. ADDICTED. I’ve watched 5 seasons in like a week and a half. I have no life.

I did really well in the beginning of the month, reading three books in a row. Then, I suddenly just stopped and haven’t picked up a book since. So, here are the three I’ve read:

  • It’s Simplify Your Life Week next week so I’m going to talk about how I unhaul my books
  • I was supposed to talk about Grey’s Anatomy but I’m already on season 9 so I decided to just wait until I finish everything available on Netflix to chat about it – which may or may not be within the next two weeks (sorry not sorry)
  • If I’m being honest, I don’t have everything planned for the next two weeks so let’s wing it, shall we?


Did any of you follow the Comic Con news (or lucky enough to actually attend)? What is something you saw from it that got you excited?

    I feel you on binging TV! I’ve been catching up on Supernatural, I watched Big Little Lies (and loved it!), and I binged the two seasons of Lucifer. I started out this month reading a lot, and I haven’t read in weeks. 😂

    Thanks so much for linking back to my post! 😘 And regarding Comic-Con? SO MANY THINGS. Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Ready Player One, The Defenders! There’s probably more I’m forgetting, though!

      Big Little Lies was so good! I did the same thing – read at first, then tv consumed me lol

      Ahhhh Ready Player One! I just started reading it 🙂

    Oh dear, it doesn’t look like an amazing month review-wise. I don’t have any suggestion for birthday fun, but I hope you have a fantastic day! My little sister has just aged up and we went to her favourite restaurant for a birthday lunch. Even got some free pink lemonade! If you go out on your birthday, remember to tell them what day it is, just in case they give you something free haha 😀

    Happy Anniversary!!! Oh man I love Grey’s Anatomy. I can’t imagine how epic that binge is. Hope you have a great week!

      Thank you! Also, I’m already on season 11 now! I’m almost caught up. I’m so scared.

    Sounds like you had a fun month with the two concerts and the staycation. Congrats on your four year wedding anniversary! Next month is also my birthday month :). That’s nice you got some books read, that’s too bad two of those were two stars though.

      Thank you so much! And that’s awesome! When is your birthday?

    Happy anniversary Molly! Doing a birthday bingo would be fun, each squares/prompts are filled with fun facts about you and we need to read according to those prompts 😀 I followed comic con news! I’m so excited for Ragnarok and Black Panther, and as horrible as this sound, I’m glad we finally saw the Infinity War teaser. I hate Loki’s Ragnarok outfit though. Also, S2 of Stranger Things looks AMAZING. I can’t wait!

      Ohhh that sounds interesting (the bday thing). I’ll look into it! AH I somehow have NOT WATCHED the trailer for Stranger Things? WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE. Must remedy this now.

    Congrats to your wedding anniversary!! I’m looking forward to see what you’re going to do for your birthday 🙂

    By Your Side and One Of Us Is Lying are both on my tbr! I hope I’ll enjoy it better than only two stars though :3

    Have a lovely August! And enjoy your last episodes of Grey’s ;))

    Congrats again on your anniversary, Molly ♥ And I hope your birthday is wonderful!!

    Sorry it wasn’t a great reading month!! Although that 2 star rating of OOUIL makes me strangely happy because #same 😂 I hope you’re able to find a book you can fall in love with this month!!

      haha I remember you not liking it before I picked it up. Should have heeded your warning >.<

    You had a lovely month indeed. Hope August is even better, Molly.
