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.

1. I renewed my blog for another year, probably the last.
2. I was approved for another of my most wanted eARCs! (Drop Dead Handsome by Matthew Hubbard)
3. My laptop issue ended up being just overheating and it’s working fine now with a new cooling pad. Such a relief!
4. I’ve been following along on the progress of Zoe the Puffy Kitty! Love seeing her happy and healthy!
5. My brother sent me a few of the items from my “things I need” wish list (including the new cooling pad).
