August Recap, An Announcement And How I Did On My Summer Goals

 Hello everyone! I hope that you've all had a good month. I'll get into the recap in just a minute, but first I wanted to say that I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from blogging in September. I probably won't be gone for the whole month, but I won't be posting as frequently. Between responsibilities [like school, sports and chores] and working on my novel, plus wanting to script and edit some videos and dealing with blogging burnout, I just want to take a short break. Hopefully you'll all understand. 
So, here's the recap. 
Books I Read in August









Movies/TV Shows I Watched In August
Season One and part of Season Two
Again, Season One and part of Season Two


What I Did In August
Watch me just forget everything I did, lol.
-Some of my friends came over to visit this month! It was really fun to get to see them and hang out with them again. We even got to go horseback riding this time. 
-I can't remember if I wrote this in my last recap but I have a new-ish WIP I've been working on and I really enjoy it. 
-I also joined a cross country team and I think my endurance is better than it was before, but I'm still not great. We just had our first meet and that was fun. 
-Also, school starts tomorrow, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. 
Now it's time for me to say how I did on my summer goals.
Read 30 Books
Nope. I did read 22 books, though, so I got pretty close. 
Go Hiking
No. I didn't get to do that this summer. 
Try Out A New Hobby
Yup. This summer I've been making more YouTube videos and it's been fun. 
Watch New Movies
Yeah, I definitely did this. 
Make Some YouTube Videos
Yup! I've filmed a few and I'm just waiting to put them up. 
Make Some Money
Yes, I did make some money, mostly from petsetting. 
Dye My Hair
Yes, it's now pink/purple again. 
Go Swimming
Yes, I did this and it was really fun. 
Spend More Time With Friends
I did lots of this. I've had friends visit twice this summer. 
Learn Something New
Yeah. I've read more non-fiction and have started watching some more history/psychology videos on YouTube so I think I've learned a few new things. 
So, that was my August. How was it for you all?

    I completely understand taking a break <3 Having blogging burnout is the WORST! But once you take a break and then come back it's so worth it! Because then you're filled with all this motivation and inspiration! Sorry I got a bit carried away there. Have an amazing time off!

    Glad you're taking a break. Way to do so many of your summer goals. You're WAY more motivated than I ever was cause I don't remember ever having one single summer goal

      Thanks! I did! It was a really great reading month. Ahh, there are so many good characters on that show! Off the top of my head, maybe Emma or Ruby.

    Your achievements with all your summer goals are inspiring! I've honestly never considered making summer goals myself; maybe I'll try that this year. :)

August Recap

Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n

The Fandom Tag

 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and
