Hey, friends! I hope you’re all having an amazing start of August! August is going to be a busy month for me, because *pretend to be surprised* I am traveling again! Once, to LA to go to a BTS Exhibit! And another time, to go to Magic Fest here in Las Vegas! I am so excited for both, and I hope to vlog both, too!
As for my TBR? I have some exciting and high hopes! I am currently reading Feast of Sparks with some of my best friends, and having the best time! And I have three very exciting readalongs I’m doing this month (breakdowns are all below)! And, most excitingly, me and Alexa, from Alexa Loves Books, are reading five Filipino authors and their ARCs in between both of our birthdays (the 5th – the 27th), because we are cute and I love her a lot! 💕
