July Recap + Flights of Fantasy Update


July has been fun! Mainly because I had 4 days off total (a long July 4th weekend and a random mental health day) and a Friday where I got to leave at 2pm, all of which were very much needed. Then I crossed a bunch of things off my various lists re: NYC, ice cream and authors. And I read a ton of great books. No book rut for me! 

I'm just feeling pretty happy at the moment and choosing to focus on the positive. 

Anyway, here's what July has been like on the blog:

I read three fantasy books! Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier (love love love) and the first two books in the Storm Siren trilogy (really enjoying). I'm happy with the progress I made this month and hoping to read even more in August.
