It's a LONG episode this week, but I had to share the SEVENTEEN books that I read in August! Not too much of a haul, but I've got big reading plans for September - from book clubs, to getting into some of the newer titles on my shelves, let's see if I can keep the reading vibes going.

Being a mood reader and recording an episode a few days before we actually head to the cabin means that I've got a stack of books that I think I'm taking with me ... but things can change!

In today's episode, I'm taking you back to the early blogger days, how I came up with Writer Grrl Reads, and how it became my online bookish identity.

A bit of a chaotic wrap-up as I hear the garage door open and quickly wrap things up - but I decided to do TWO summery reading tags for you today. The first one is the Summer Reading Tag, which is created by Amy Jane Reads (looks like the original video is no longer live) and the second tag is the Summer Bucket List Book Tag, which was created by Read by Tiffany.

In last week's episode, I mentioned that I would be reading as many books off my Dany shelf as I can during August, in honour of my bookish bestie's birthday -- but which books are on my Dany shelf? Listen to find out!

In today's episode, we're recapping my (slightly chaotic?) July reading so far, the books I added to my physical TBR and my super fun August reading plans.

A little late, like most things this month, but here's an update on my July book project ... let's just say that things are not going exactly as planned ;)

A shorter episode, but the 90s Movie Book Tag was a fun one to fill the gap while I'm away on vacation this week! Originally created by A Book Lovers Playlist.

Today's episode was a topic suggestion from one of my Instagram followers ... books that help us through different seasons of life. So here are 10 books that I have a distinct memory of reading when I was at a time and place in my life with big life changes!

Another month has come and gone, and what a great reading month June was! I didn't read any standouts, but I did read a ton of books, mainly due to a magical readathon with friends and a series reread that I've leapt into.
