Hey, guys!
How is everybody? I’ve not been around much here, so I’m sure there is lots of stuff that I have missed. Not much has been going on but I guess you would appreciate some puppy pictures?😅
♣️ I have started to listening to audiobooks while puzzling again. It’s something that is really calming and rewarding for me and it’s time to do it all over again. It’s not really a big thing that needs to be put here but I like doing it and this section looks so empty otherwise.
♣️We were dogsitting my mum’s dog for some time this month and I absolutely adore that little critter. Even though he’s a little rascal and does not listen. He’s still the best and most loving dog ever.

I was really behind on my goal at the beginning of the month and then I listened to some audiobooks and read some graphic novels. Shoutout to Dini, for the suggestion. I guess I was in a bit of a rut.
I’ve taken part in two blogtours this month and I finally wrote a review for one of the arcs I still had. I’m really behind on those, and have to admit that I have fallen into the request-everything-and-stress-about-the-reviews trap, you all know. Oops.

I don’t have any other posts I wrote in August and I didn’t make any goals, so this is it, I suppose. Have another puppy picture in consolidation. 😇
Looks like you had a great month! Good books and a cute doggo! 🙂
Everybody loves him. 😀 Thank you, it was rather good, I think. 🙂
Looks like a good month! Graphic novels can be a great way to get out of a reading rut.
Yeah, it really helped. I’m a bit picky about them but it worked rather well this month. 🙂
i listen to a lot of audiobooks, but i never considered listening while doing puzzles!! such a good idea!
I really love listening to audiobooks and puzzling. I usually don’t listen to audiobooks much because I tend to get distracted, but this works rather well. 🙂
i usually read along with a physical or ebook, but sometimes i want to actually do something.
Puppy is SO cute! 😍 And yay for graphic novels getting you out of a slump. It’s been a while since I’ve read one too, actually, but my moods have been all over the place lately! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the Mystwick School of Musicraft cos it looks and sounds amazing. I hope you have an awesome reading month ahead!
Puppy knows he’s cute. His name is Muffin btw. And his lovingness makes up for all the stuff he’s pulling like running away to investigate the inside of houses where he has no business being.
You really have to listen to the audiobook of Mystwick. It’s just so great. The music and also the narrator are sublime. 😍
