January 2021 Wrap-Up

-

 

Was it just me or did January just fly by?!  Month 1 of 2021 is done!  I've been perusing Pinterest for some blog post inspiration because I want to spice things up a little and a monthly wrap-up was featured on almost every idea list, so I decided to give it a try!  Let's jump right in!
- Books Read -
This past month, I read five books.  Two were physical books and the other three were e-books.

Making Space by Jayne Hardy
Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen

- Life Update -
Oh gosh, where do I begin?  If you didn't know, I am currently an aviculture intern at the International Crane Foundation in Wisconsin (as in birds, not construction).  I only have five weeks left of my term - which blows my mind - so, I've been applying to other positions in the animal care field that I qualify for like nobody's business.  I've had two interviews already this month and have two more lined up for February.

This month, I started a lifestyle blog with a friend of mine!  Check it out here.  I've also been tossing around the idea of creating a bookstagram linked to the blog, but I'm not so sure.  Thoughts?

Finally, I'm working on a project proposal that I think will greatly benefit the youth in my community.  I'm scared and have no idea what I'm doing, but that's normal, right?

Anywho, I hope y'all had a good and healthy start to the new year!  Feel free to post a link to your monthly wrap-up post so I can read all about what you've been up to!

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly post that highlights books we are excited to read hosted by Jill from Breaking The Spine. Title: Take A Bow   Author:  Elizabeth Eulberg Synopsis: From the fantastic author of The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice comes a story of all the drama and comedy of four friends who grow into themselves at a performing arts high school. Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates. Carter has been acting since he was a baby, and isn't sure how to admit

Stacking the Shelves (9)

-
Image
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .  It's all about sharing books you've added to your shelves be it physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a  physical store, or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks. This week, I've added five books to my shelf! The first two books were given to me by a coworker after she saw how much I read during my lunch break!  Both are more outside of my typical realm of books, so I'm excited to give them a try!  The last three I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  The Home Front was released on January 26, 2021,  Playing with Fire was released on January 19, 2021 and The Woman with the Blue Star is set to be released in May 2021.
