My favourite month is finally here! Do I have any idea how we got to October so quickly? No. But between the falling leaves, vivid fall colours, and the lead-up to Halloween, I really can’t complain about the start of this new month. READING PROGRESS I’ve nearly reached my Goodreads goal for the year, and I’ve more than...
monthly recap
August 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
I genuinely don’t know where the time (and the summer!) has gone. It’s slightly terrifying that it’s September already, but I’m ridiculously excited to put all of my sneakers away and start wearing Docs and cozy cardigans again. Reading Progress I was a little burned out in August, but I somehow managed to read 6 books. Three of...
July 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
How is it already August? I feel like Canada Day was just yesterday, and now it’s nearly autumn. Reading Progress I’m somehow still ahead of my Goodreads reading challenge! I read 4 books this month, and two of these were backlist titles. I’m so glad that the library is open once again for curbside pickup — it’s so...
June 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians! I can’t believe how quickly June flew by – it seems like it only lasted for a few days. Since Toronto’s firework shows are all virtual this year, I’m hoping to spend my Canada Day reading in the park so I can get a head start on my July TBR. READING...
May 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
I can’t believe it’s almost June! The weather is finally getting nicer and I’ve started carrying sunscreen everywhere — summer is almost here. Reading Progress I finally got out of my reading slump this month! I managed to finish one book, but I am in the middle of three others (mood reader problems). Somehow, despite this, I’m still...
January 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
I honestly can’t wait for February. Sure, the temperatures are usually ridiculously cold (love those Canadian winters), but it’s also my birthday month. The prospect of turning 26 is slightly terrifying, but I can’t wait to celebrate! January was my first full month at my new job, and I’m so excited that I can finally say that I...
September 2018: Monthly Wrap-Up
I am so excited for October: the leaves will have finally changed colour, it will definitely be ankle bootie weather and, of course, it’s Halloween month. After the difficult month that I had in August, I’m happy to say that September was a bit more gentle to me! I started a new job in Downtown Toronto, and the 2+...
August 2018: Monthly Wrap-Up
September is almost upon us! 🍂🍃 I’m so excited to bring out my cardigans, comfy sweaters, and beanies – this girl does not thrive in the heat. Waiting for both fall weather and my Peter Kavinsky like… This past month was particularly difficult for me: the loss of a long-term relationship, having to move out of my wonderfully air-conditioned apartment...
July 2018: Monthly Wrap-Up
I can’t believe it’s August already! It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating Canada Day, and here we are at yet another long weekend. July was a fairly busy month for me: I got back from a two-week trip to France, visited the cutest lavender farm (but, of course, I forgot to bring a book with me) and did...
April: A Month’s Worth of Photos
April was a really hectic month for me. I had 6 exams in 7 days (I want to say that I passed them all…. but I’m still waiting on one mark, which is incredibly stressful!) and continued volunteering in a synthetic biology lab. I also had to say goodbye to my lovely housemates (left + centre above), as this...
