Monthly Book Blog Wrap-Up: September 2023

Published on September 29, 2023September 28, 2023 by Celeste4 Comments

Even though I decided to take a semi-hiatus from blogging, I still posted 12 times, including this one. Usually I published 15+ posts per month. This time I focused my posts on reviews only and cut out any weekly meme-related posts. Overall it was nice. I found I had more time to read. Now that my efforts to incorporate SEO are paying off, I may continue to focus more on reviews and less on memes. I may still do the occasional meme post here and there. But the truth is all blogging takes up a lot of time, including relatively simple weekly memes.

For what should feel like one of the longest months of the year, August went by relatively quickly. At least for me, I think this was because I had something going on every weekend, which made it feel like I didn’t have a lot of down time.

Summer is fully upon me here, meaning a lot of sun, some rain, and even some wildfire smoke. In fact, as I draft this the D.C. area is again experiencing another wave of poor air quality. Currently, my area is in code red (151+ AQI). It also means everyone is awake from their winter slumber and my social calendar is now busier. Typically I see a decrease in my reading during the summer, but I think I’ve just maintained my personal status quo. Now let’s take a look at my monthly book blog wrap-up for June.

Hi May and bye May! For what usually feels like one of the longest months of the year, this time it seemed to go by in a flash. I didn’t have as much time to blog hop as usual (see my non-bookish section). But I somehow found the time to pull together some Wyrd and Wonder posts. And thank goodness I squirrel away reviews for busy times like these.
