Looking Forward To August in purple text and August 2023 pink pink text with a pink background and star outlines

Looking Forward To is a monthly feature where I showcase all of the books, music, shows, movies and everything else that I am looking forward to for the upcoming month. You can view past months’ posts here.

 

It’s been a busy month with work so I haven’t been able to post this until now. This is always one of my favorite posts to do because not only does it remind me of everything I’m interested in, it may also introduce you to new things. Here’s my Looking Forward To August lineup!
