Monthly Recap: February ’16

Monthly Recap: February ’16

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted much this month, I’ve been kind of distracted really. Though life this much is pretty much the same, trying to find a job, being excited about going to BEA in a few months, busy with Bible Study and such. 🙂 I mentioned yesterday I would be doing my Looking Forward To feature in this post, but I’m actually going to do that tomorrow instead. ~Stats~ WordPress Followers: 203 BlogLovin’ Followers: 141 # of Views/Visitors: 2,337/1,762 # of Blog Posts: 9 # of Reviews: N/A # of Likes: 45 # of Comments: 55 Most Viewed Post: Buying & Selling ARCs with 183 views.

January ’16 Recap

January ’16 Recap

~My Life~ This is a super late recap, I meant to do it sooner and just didn’t feel like it. Well, what can I say? It was a month. As far as good/bad months go, it was pretty okay really. I don’t think anything particularly exciting happened, but I could be forgetting something.   ~Stats~ WordPress Followers: 196 BlogLovin’ Followers: 129 # of Views/Visitors: 2,777/2,021 # of Blog Posts:  # of Reviews:  4 # of Likes: 44 # of Comments: 55  Most Viewed Post: Laurie E.

December Recap of ’15

December Recap of ’15

~My Life~ I can’t believe that not only is it the end of the month, it’s also the end of the YEAR. Time really just flies by when you get older, I think it’s because you’re more aware of it. My Christmas went well! I’m not doing anything for New Year’s clearly. 😉 I’m going to watch High School Musical though, I think, since Troy and Gabriella met on New Year’s Eve. <3 My mom’s been wanting me to come downstairs for a bit, so, downstairs I will be. 🙂 I hope you all have an amazing new year and I hope you’ve had a good year this past year. <3 ~Stats~ WordPress Followers: 188 BlogLovin’ Followers: 121 # of Views/Visitors: 2,417/1,693 # of Blog Posts: 15 # of Reviews: 0 # of Likes: 60 # of Comments: 60 Most Viewed Post:  If I Were to Receive Books (TTT) Most Viewed Review: Where […]

My November ’15 Recap

My November ’15 Recap

~My Life~ Well, Thanksgiving went well! It was just me and my family at home. I was rejected by jobs. 🙁 BEA plans were finalized with Shannon, Holly and Val! Yay. <3 My month did not consist with much at all.  I’m doing a giveaway on Twitter for How To Be Brave by E. Katherine Kottaras, it ends in one week.  ~Stats~ WordPress Followers: 185 BlogLovin’ Followers: 121 # of Views/Visitors: 2,926/2,142 # of Blog Posts: 11 # of Reviews: Um. 🙁 WAIT, ONE! 😀 # of Likes: 32 # of Comments: 37 (18ish, considering half are mine) Most Viewed Post: Top Ten Underrated Fairytales in The Fairytale Genre Most Viewed Review: Where She Went (911 views)   I only ever do the stats for my own benefit, eventually I’ll weed out people that comment that aren’t me in the comment count. 😉 ~Book Stats~ Books Read: 0 🙁 Books Started: […]

Monthly Recap: October ’15

Monthly Recap: October ’15

Birthday month officially came to a close on the 17th, the day of my sister’s birthday. It all went well, pretty much, birthday-wise. Other than that, the month’s been pretty uneventful really. I had interviews at Michael’s Arts and Crafts and Burlington Coat Factory. I was told I’d be called if either wanted to move forward with the interview process. Burlington’s declined me! And I’m waiting to see about Michael’s next week so… not sure where this will go. That would mostly be for seasonal. I’m going to check up on other applications too this week. Oh my gosh guys, it’s Halloween. On Thursday night I went with my cousin and her three year old downtown where the stores were doing a trick or treating event.  It was fun to see all the little kids in costumes and stuff. It really makes me wish I’d taken advantage of those last […]

Monthly Recap: September ’15

Monthly Recap: September ’15

~My Life~ It has been a very long and hard month for me. Mostly due to home circumstances. Some of the highlights though?: Seeing Three Days Grace for the third time. <3 I went with a friend from college, her boyfriend and then their friend. I however, didn’t know it wasn’t just going to be us two until two hours before she got to my house. Ha. So a little headsup would have been nice, but it’s whatever. The concert was super good. Even with the new lead singer (</3). I was less than five feet from the barricade and then only two feet away towards the end of the concert. So that was really fun. Going to the Friends of The Library book sale on the 18th. <3 It was a bit complicated getting home, ha, which took away from the bit of the fun, but overall I had […]

Monthly Recap: June ’15!

Monthly Recap: June ’15!

Every month I recap my life, my blogging life, and talk about music/movie/broadway and book news that happend over the past month!   Basic Recap: I had a little problem and was stuck in bed for a couple weeks, now it’s over and I still choose to stay in bed. Ha. Ha. Just kidding. Kind of. I started going to this women’s bible study which is nice even though I’ve only been there twice so far because of the above. Perfect timing! Not really. I went a bit downhill this past month mentally, but I’m doing okay now!  WordPress Followers: 158 BlogLovin’ Followers: 92 # of Views/Visitors: 3,054/2,006 # of Blog Posts: 20 # of Reviews: 4 # of Likes: 84 # of Comments: 127 Most Viewed Post: Have You Seen This?
