This year I decided to go back to weekly recaps, but I was missing putting together a comprehensive monthly post. I thought I would still do a fun recap at the end of the month, sharing some different stats than I use in my weekly posts. I’ll also be linking up to the Monthly Wrap Up Round Up with It Starts at Midnight.

Happy Thoughts

Because last year was such a struggle, and this year is definitely trending in that direction, I wanted to add something into my posts that focuses on the positives. So I’m planning to share 5 happy things that happen each month (some months are easier than others).

1. I lived vicariously through all of the posts celebrating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.
2. Participated in a very successful Reverse Readathon from Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon
3. I received several really amazing gifts from blog readers and family
4. I had a great week celebrating my birthday.
5. I found a new favorite used book store.
