First off, our one week mid-year break starts on TUESDAY! ASDFGHJKL I AM SO EXCITED TO SLEEP AND READ! Ahem.
Anyway, only one really notable thing happened these past couple of weeks–a friend of mine will celebrate her birthday on the 31st, and she had a party in advance. The party had a Halloween theme, so we all dressed up. I went as Wednesday Addams–I would share photos with you guys, but I won’t because holy shit I look so embarrassing. *insert the awkward laughcry emoji here*
And here’s a quick message: stick around because this Tuesday, I’ll be posting a quick tour of my Bookstagram “studio.” You can find a teaser here!

Relieved to announce that I am officially 1/4 through with school. I’ve found free time here and there and have been able to FINALLY read a book, which I haven’t done since the school year started. However, I have yet to finish the book, Outlander, because I don’t have enough time and it is 800 pages long.
The more days that pass, the more excited I get for my trip in November. I’ll be traveling to Spain and France with my friends and I am SO eager to experience the delicacies these countries have to offer. Also, I’m a happy camper because today I will be getting my top braces off!!!!! Four years with these stinkers but it was worth it. Pictures of my braceless trip will come in the next (or the one after that?) bimonthly recap.

The last week of school before a break is always the most hectic, so I haven’t gone to a bookstore yet. I got one physical book in the mail but haven’t had time to take a photo of it. When I do, I’ll replace my little filler. Thanks, St. Martin’s Press!

Have a great trip Sara, that sounds amazing. I’m jealous 😭 Aimee, your costume idea… So cute! By the way, this is kind of random but do you pronounce your name like “Amy” or like the French way, “Aimée”? xx J
