Category: Wrap Up

So again, I didn’t read a tonne this month as I was concentrating on my study! However, it’s now finished!!!!!!!!! I am still waiting for one item to be marked and everything will be done completely and then all I have to do is wait for my certificate to come in the mail! YAY!!

Even though I haven’t watched much Netflix lately and haven’t posted much about TV shows or movies I will add in what I watched this month too. For TV Shows & Movies I will write the name with a link to the IMBd page as it’s not always easy to know what each is like it is with books as they have distinct authors that you can link them to.

I also won’t be including my usual ‘What I Posted’ section as I just couldn’t be bothered and I want to get back to reading some time tonight and doing that section takes forever.

Well that is all for February’s Wrap-Up! I hope March will be a better reading month for me now that my study is over!

Holy crap, the first month of 2017 is already over!! Here is my January 2017 Wrap-Up! Seen as I am starting to add posts about tv shows and movies to my blog, I’m also going to add in what Tv Shows I watched this month! I will do movies eventually too, but as I didn’t watch any new movies this month I don’t think as I have been mainly watching tv shows, I have nothing to post about.

I didn’t read as many books this month as last month, but I have mainly been concentrating on my study as my course finishes at the end of February!! So keen! And I also got a new job and at the start I was working Graveyard shifts (9:30pm to 6am) and I just didn’t have time to read as I was either at work or trying to sleep before work so I wasn’t tired or sleeping after work.. Was a little hectic there for a while!

Well, I think that is everything! I hope I have a better reading month this month, but I know if probably won’t happen when I have 5 practical and 3 theory assessment to get done + 2 jobs! Maybe March will be a good reading month for me! 😂

So, this month was better than last month for reading! I’m slowly getting back to reading as much as I used to!

---

Books Read:

So, I finished 3 books this month! Which is better than the 1 book I read last month!

Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

Audiobooks Listened:

I listened to the last 3 books of the Harry Potter series in one month! Pretty proud of myself!

I also started The Book Thief for the Tome Topple ReadAThon, the ReadAThon finishes on today the 1st, so I still have a little while to finish it!

I was about half way in The Book Thief at midnight last night and I’m at 83% of Tales of the Peculiar
