Quarterly Wrap-Up // July-September 2018

This has been a great summer for me, filled with spending time with friends, binge-watching Voltron (as per usual), family holidays, and going to lots of bookish events. But I'm excited to be getting back to my final year of university in October.

Post Wrap Up

You may have noticed I've switched from doing monthly wrap-ups to quarterly wrap-ups. The reason behind this is that I don't post as much as I did 2 years ago, so my post wrap up looked very sparse. With this switch, I'm hoping I can better reflect on my year by breaking it up into larger chunks 💕

• Latest Love // Steven Universe - I talk about my love for one of the sweetest animated shows modern television has to offer, which is making huge strides for LGBT+ representation in children's entertainment.
• Apps and Websites to Help You Live Your Best Bookish Lifestyle - Blogging has brought my attention to some incredible apps and websites that have seriously improved my reading game. I can't remember life without them.
• YALC 2018 (and other bookish events) - I've attended a lot of bookish events so far this year, so I thought I'd talk about all the fun in one little wrap-up post.
• Latest Love // The Bright Sessions - This summer I discovered my new favourite podcast/thing ever. TBS is about a psychologist who specialises in therapy for people with supernatural powers, and it has excellent characters, writing, and diversity.
