Life lately
It's August and quickly approaching Fall, which honestly blows my mind. It's been a crazy stressful month on a professional level but on a personal level, it was actually really great. I went into the city to celebrate Alexa's birthday with her, explored a local Jersey town with my cousins, cleaned out the garage at my dad's house which was a HUGE but satisfying undertaking, got my hair highlighted, had lunch with Carina, and saw my family every Sunday.

I'll be doing a full review of this series at a later date for something Alexa and I are working on with every book I read, I just fall in love with this series even more. - Rough Magic: Riding the World's Loneliest Horse Race by Lara Prior-Palmer - 3 stars
This is Lara Prior-Palmer's memoir of how she competed in the world's longest, toughest horse race (on a whim!), and ended up being its youngest and first-ever female winner. It was really interesting and I was fascinated by the race but I had hope for more of a connection with Lara herself.

I still haven't read The Dare, though I fully intend to because I want to complete that series as well!
