I really shouldn’t be typing this right now, having just spent seven hours in a car — and about two of those hours in horrendous traffic — but oh well! It was worth it. I finally managed to squeeze in a mini vacation.
Unfortunately there was no time for reading, and I didn’t get in much before leaving. So my slacking streak is at an all-time high. I’m promising myself I’ll read tomorrow while I’m taking it easy and NOT spending any time in the car. Unsure whether I’ll continue with the Mortal Instruments series right now, or start my first Book Sessions book, Second Chance Summer.
Also, if you didn’t know already: it’s August. This is very, very disappointing for me, because that means school is starting again soon. How is it that I always feel like I never really get a summer vacation?
Bout of Books 5.0 — The official BoB sign-up and schedule were posted! I’m super excited to be hosting one of the challenges!

August is always such a bittersweet month. Are you going to tell us more about your mini vacation? Where did you go?!
I went waaaaaaaaaaaaaay up north. And it was still hot! :[
Summer holidays definitely fly by. I can’t believe it’s August already! And I say continue The Mortal Instruments! 😛
I think I shall! I’m sad that it’s August. :[
