August Recap

August has been a pretty great month. I had a fun work trip to Austin, TX (and got to meet Magan!), much-needed family outings and get togethers with friends, got the "me" time I've been craving, finished my dining area project and I am on the last day of my 4 day weekend. It's been good! Then on the blog, I got to be more creative than usual, sharing some new bookish features (I'm still thinking about horseback riding.). The only downside to this month? I've been in a major book rut. There's been a couple loves (ISLA!) but for the most part, a lot of my recent reads have been "meh". I don't know if it's just my mood or if it's the books but all I know is, I need to fall in love with a new book ASAP. 

Anyway, here's what August has been like on the blog:
