Can someone please explain to me where August went? Because it’s already September so what just happened?
August was, in brief, VERY productive. I was able to post a review just about every day and not only knocked out a bunch of ARCs for ARC August, but also finished all my books for the #ReadThemAllThon challenge too (which is still going on until September 4th so just racking up extra CP right now!).
Everything with blogging is falling into place finally and just when I get news that I’m likely going to be a graduate student in science education starting in January (yikes!). I’m actually super excited about this but it’s going to definitely change things around a bit here in terms of how much I’m posting for you guys. The next 4 months are going to be a lot of prep work, getting my TBR under control (or at least to a manageable level) and scheduling stuff in advance as much as possible. It’s a slow process but it’s in the works!
Blog Updates
I have a new button/logo! You can find the code at the bottom of the site if you’d like to add a link back to NK or you can just look at it here. 😉
The September Fun is Just Beginning
I had SO much fun with the 2 reading challenges I participated in this month that I decided to sign up for another! It’s already started but the #IndieReadathon2016 runs until September 12th so I’ll be working on a few indie books for that.
End of the Year Readathons!
I’m also hosting a bunch of series re-reads in preparation for upcoming releases (and some just because they’re great books). You can find more information about the dates for each one here but the series covered are as follows:
- An Ember in the Ashes (already done!)
- Throne of Glass series
- Grisha series + Six of Crows
- Shadowhunter books (Infernal Devices/Mortal Instruments/Lady Midnight/The Bane Chronicles)
- Lunar Chronicles
Other Fun Things
Depending on if I hit any milestones on social media or here on the blog in the next 4 months, you might also see a few fun giveaways to celebrate so keep an eye out!

I love the blog button, and good luck with grad school. I’m getting my MFA right now, and it’s slightly crazy sometimes.
Aj @ Read All The Things! recently posted…August Wrap-Up
Thanks!! I really regret not starting in the Fall after a Spring graduation for my Bachelor’s. Been going stir-crazy all summer! Good luck with your degree too! Yay for craziness! 🙂
