Hi friends! I know, I know, I’m a couple days too early for a monthly wrap-up, but I like doing monthly wrap-ups and I wanted to do this one because I won’t be able to later on for reasons detailed below. (exciting ones!!) Happy almost-July everyone!! ☀️
It’s been the usual routine of working-blogging and everything, other than that I’d say June hasn’t been too exciting and not much has happened except for… well, waiting for holidays to come, buying my travel guides (because I’m old school like that and I like paper maps and travel guides), booking train tickets and sightseeings and such and just, waiting for long days at work to go by.
I’ve been getting ready for July and August, which will be filled with blogging breaks and holidays and travels with my favorite people in the entire universe, too which is very exciting. I’m even more excited knowing I’ll have two very exciting places to visit this year and since I know you all might be curious…. I’m leaving next Monday for a couple days in my first destination, Croatia.
I’m excited because I don’t go to the seaside too often and everything looks postcard pretty and I can’t wait.
If you want to take a guess, funnily enough, my next travel destination for the end of July, with my sister this time, also starts with a “C” and I might be screaming very loudly about it because dream, friends.
I somehow feel like I should be reading more, but I also know that, honestly, reading 6 books a month while working full time is still something… I mean, it has to be right? There are just sooooo many books.
It’s been a fairly good reading month, with some new favorites and exciting discoveries so, yay!
? Books I read
RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE ☂️ Worth all of the love and hype, if you ask me. I loved this one SO MUCH. ? read my full review
ARE WE ALL LEMMINGS & SNOWFLAKES ☂️ It wasn’t my favorite Holly Bourne book, but I still had a good time with it overall and… I love that Holly Bourne always writes about mental health.
BEFORE I DISAPPEAR ☂️ I was a little disappointed by this one: it had a lot of potential and I liked the overall idea, characters and siblings vibes, but…. I was a little confused, too?
THE BLACK VEINS ☂️ This book was such a wonderful surprise, I fell in love with the wonderful cast of characters and ahh, I’m excited to read more from the author!
THE LAST THING YOU SAID ☂️ This was such a lovely contemporary, a little emotional at times, with a complicated romance and I loved the strong friendship, too.
WICKED FOX ☂️ I’m currently reading this one as I’m drafting this and so far it’s really entertaining!
- Goodreads Challenge: 38/60 books : I’m 9 books ahead of my goodreads challenge, still, I’m pretty happy about that! ?
- Year of The Asian Reading Challenge: 4/10 books – I haven’t read more books for that challenge so far, need to.
I haven’t really done much writing-wise this month. I still have this new project in mind and I’m still at the planning stages of it all, trying to figure out a rough outline before heading into drafting something, forever staring at my Pinterest board while brainstorming or… well maybe procrastinating a little bit, too. It’s hard to throw yourself into this whole new project… especially when you’re getting thoughts on your previous one.
I’ve received some incredibly heartwarming emails that made me scream and sob about my previous WIP from beta readers and…. well apparently it’s not that bad? It’s even good? Someone said they believed in my words and story??? and I ended up reading the email a gazillion times to make sure it was true. This has given me so much hope for this story and for my writing overall.
I still have a lot of work and editing to do, obviously, but still it feels like such a… relief to know that my writing could be loved. (key-word being could, I mean, I’m still me).
I still haven’t written much this month, I’ve been preoccupied, I’ve been procrastinating, too, but… I’ll do something soon once I start outlining better?
- Words written: 0.
It’s been an usual month on the blog, even though I’d say I’ve been a little stressed out about staying on track with everything, soooo…. I’m happy to say what’s coming next.
I’m going to be on a blogging break from this Saturday, June 29th, until at least the next Sunday, July 7th. I still have an author interview and a blog tour scheduled and my sister will be there with her monthly post in July, too, but I won’t be there. No blog hopping and answering to comments at all and I apologize I promise I am not ignoring you, and I already feel a little anxious about it all, but it’s time for adventures.
Also it’s really time I take a small break too and step away from here to feel refreshed, let’s be honest here.
I’ll still be over on twitter, though I’ll do my very best to step away from it, too, and most likely sharing travel pictures over on instagram, in case you’re curious about this.

Breaks.
As stated above, I’ll be on a blogging break at the end of the month and the start of July and… on a break again at the end of July and start of August as well because it’s holidays time, also because I need it, too.
Not to worry, I still have a couple exciting authors features and will bother you in-between my travels with my reviews and blog posts. It’s time to relax though and it’s summer and I want to do my best to do so.

Hey Marie! I’m excited for you! Enjoy your summer travels — Croatia looks beautiful. Looking forward to all your content (as few as they may be). I recently wrote about what makes a good book to me on my blog. I’m trying to write more book discussion style posts. Here’s a link if you’d like to take a look 🙂 https://afomaumesi.com/what-makes-a-good-book/
Ahh thank you so much, you’re so sweet! <3 <3
I'm so happy you're trying out discussion posts, they're so much fun to write, I'll definitely read that one! 😀
I hope you'll have a lovely month <3
ahhh je suis trop tentée par the black vein aussi, hâte de pouvoir le lire !! ♥
Ahhhhhh, j’attendrai tes retours, c’était vraiment une excellente surprise, j’ai adoré tous les personnages <3
I’ve been dying to visit Croatia as it looks so beautiful. Can’t wait to hear whether you’d recommend it!
Ahh thank you, I’ll make sure to share my thoughts on it 🙂
Where do you find the Year of the Asian Challenge? That sounds like one I’d be interested in checking out (even though I’m six months late). I love this so much. I hope you enjoy your trip to Croatia <3
Oh you can join anytime, if I’m not mistaken! It’s co-hosted by a couple of bloggers, here’s a post detailing it all : https://thequietpond.com/2019/01/15/welcome-to-the-year-of-asian-reading-challenge-join-us-and-read-asian-literature-in-2019-sign-ups-information-excite/ 😀
Thank you so, so much! Happy reading to you ! <3 <3
Ahhh so exciting that you’re going to Croatia!! And reading six books while working full time is DEFINITELY something! Now that I’m working every day that school is done I’ve had to readjust to not having oodles of time… so any reading that I can squeak in is an achievement in my book!
Don’t worry about us over in the blogging world–enjoy your holiday!! <3 Can't wait to hear all about it when you return! 🙂
Thank you so much, you’re too sweet Holly! <3 <3 and yes, while working, we take any reading time we can get, those get rare haha 🙂
I hope you'll have a beautiful month! 🙂
Wow you’ve read a lot! Some of these books look amazing, especially Are We All Lemmings & Snowflakes and Red White and Royal Blue!!
I feel you on having to take a break, sometimes the wall comes down and you have to take a step back from everything! Hope you enjoy you’re time away! xo
Thank you so much Jordan! I hope you’ll get to read both these books and will love them, they were so good! 😀
Thank you so much <3 <3
Croatia is near the top of my must-see list. It’s beautiful! Enjoy your trips! I’ll be sitting at work, being envious of your vacations.
Thank you so much, you’re too sweet <3 <3 I hope you'll have a lovely month <3
I’m so happy to hear that you’re getting some well needed time away from the blog and your full-time job! Croatia seems like such a beautiful place (my cousins go there often for summer vacation and their pictures are always SO pretty!) to visit, so I hope you have the best time. I’m sure your Instagram feed will be filled with tons of beautiful images – I can’t wait! 😀 Hmmm, as for that second ‘C’ destination the one that came to mind right away was Cyprus? Or is it the Czech Republic? Either way, I hope you have a great time there too! 🙂
You’re doing quite well on your reading challenges and I actually have no idea how you read 6 books per month with a full-time job! But you’ve also just reminded me that I need to step up my game as far as YARC is concerned as I haven’t read any books by Asian authors recently. :O
I’ve had a pretty good month, overall! Filled with a lot of great books, tons of sunshine (despite this week just being too hot) and time with family – that’s all I really need. As for what I read & loved, I have to say Red Rising was a pretty unexpected new favorite and the same was still true for the sequel! 🙂 I knew I was likely to love Red, White & Royal Blue so I was glad when that remained true once I’d finished the book.
Have a great break, Marie and enjoy it to the fullest! Can’t wait for you to come back refreshed and ready to continue to kick ass at blogging! <3
Ah thank you so, so much Swetlana you’re too sweet and I’m so happy to hear that, I’m so impatient 😀
And noo that’s not either of these countries, but good guesses 😀
Ah I hope you’ll get to read more books for YARC, I need to just as well, so many books on my TBR haha 🙂
I’m so happy you’ve had a great month – I get it though with the heat, it has been WAY TOO HOT over here as well it’s terrible haha.
I hope you’ll have a beautiful month and thank you so much for your support alays, this means so much <3 <3
That vacation sounds amazing! Have the best time 😀
Ahh thank you so much 😀
Anytime my friend 🙂
Thank you for the shout-out! Have fun in Croatia!
My pleasure! and thank you so much 😀
Great wrap up, Marie! I think 6 books in one month while working full time is quite a feat!! Have the best time on your vacation. Safe travels!! ^_^
Ahh thank you so much, you’re so sweet! <3 <3 I hope you'll have a beautiful month 🙂
I think six books read while working full time is amazing! I’m so excited you have some fun vacations coming up. Sometimes it’s good to just get away and recharge, and don’t worry about the blog. We’ll all be here when you get back – no worries!! I might be going to Florida at the end of August, so hopefully that works out because I could really use a vacay right about now. haha

Ahh thank you Lauren, you’re so sweet <3
I hope you'll get to go to Florida, we all need a little getaway every now and then 😀
Thank you so much Lauren, I hope you'll have a lovely month <3
I hope you enjoy your upcoming trips! I need a vacation ASAP. I loved Red, White & Royal Blue so much. I am glad I actually enjoyed a hyped book, because most of the time I don’t haha. I really want to read Wicked Fox! That’s so amazing that you received a lot of great feedback on your WIP. That’s exciting! I hope you have an amazing July, Marie! <3
Thank you Ashley!! I hope you’ll love Wicked Fox, I just finished reading it and had such a great time with it 🙂
Thank you so much, you too! <3 <3
Ah, Marie! I’m so happy to see you taking a break and stepping away from blogging for a little bit! You 100% deserve that, and while we all will miss you dearly, I hope you come back feeling more refreshed and relaxed about blogging <3 I can't wait to hear about and see all the gorgeous pictures from your travels!
And I'm so glad you got amazing feedback from beta readers!! I know asking for feedback about your writing is always nerve-wracking, but the external validation that comes from it is just such a nice feeling <3 I hope you have an amazing vacation and a lovely July!! ?
Thank you so much May you’re too sweet, I’m so happy to have you in my life thank you for your endless support <3 <3
Thank you!! I hope you'll have a wonderful month <3
Looks like you had a great month. Enjoy your vacation! I’m a bit jealous of Croatia. It looks wonderful.
Thank you so much!! It really does 🙂
You’re welcome!
I’m so excited for you! Croatia sounds amazing! I hope you have the best time!
I love the cover of The Last Thing You said! There’s something about sunset/sunrise colored ombres that just make me so happy! I’m happy to hear that the inside was just as lovely!
I always love the posts you compile every month and I’m so honored that mine made it on there! I can’t wait to read all the ones I haven’t already! (A reviewing How To? YES PLEASE!)
And I think I’m most excited about our Blogversary on July 4th, which is a holiday in the US, so I also don’t have school that day! Much excitement! I hope you have a fantastic July!
Thank you so, so much Malka and I’m so happy to hear you enjoy my compilation of posts, they take me a little while to gather together but I always love spreading some love for bloggers and their work <3
AHHHH that's so exciting yay!! 😀
I hope you'll have a beautiful July as well <3
Ahh, Marie, I’m so excited for you!! Your trips sound amazing- I hope Croatia is incredible, and that you have a refreshing blogging break. Please don’t feel bad about it in the least, because we all love you and want you to do what you need, not to mention enjoy living in the moment of all your adventures. ?
You did so well this month with reading and blogging, ahh! I hope July is wonderful and that you have the best time ever on your trips. Sending you love and hugs!
Thank you, you’re so sweet, my anxious mind won’t give me a rest sometimes haha, but I’ll do my very best to relax <3
Thank you so much, I hope you'll have a wonderful month as well <3
Yay, I ‘m so glad you get to go and travel!! I hope you have an absolute blast, even that one photo looks positively stunning. I have no idea where your next trip you’ll be taking might be and I’m trying to come up with countries and locations that start with a “C” and the only one I can think of is Canada…but I hope you have a wonderful time, too! And ENJOY your blogging break. We’ll always be here once you come back and you deserve to take some time and relax and do what you want to do and soak it all in, without worrying about the blog and the anxieties that sometimes come with this hobby. Have a wonderful time and chat when you return! <3
Thank you so, so much Nicole you’re so sweet! And… well, your guess isn’t bad AT all actually haha 😛
Thank you, I hope to relax a little bit starting next week and even more afterwards, too, it’s much needed too haha 🙂 thank you so much!! <3 <3
Really!? Well, I hope you have such a wonderful time and get to truly and properly relax. <3
thank you so much!! <3 <3
Of course reading 6 books while also working full-time is great! ♥ I have so much for red, White & Royal Blue, and I have to say, I decided to read it when I saw you reading it on Goodreads one day. Don’t ask me why, I just thought it was a great idea and I have no regrets. So thank you for the inspiration! I also finished The Black Veins and the characters are EVERYTHING.
I hope you enjoy your vacation so much! Have an awesome time Marie!! ♥
Ahhhh this made my day <3 I'm so happy you read it and enjoyed it and ahhhh yes for the black veins! this book was such a lovely surprise, I loved these characters so much <3
Thank you!! <3
This post was so nice to read! Have lotss of fun in Croatia!! Also I might just have to pick up Red White & Royal Blue.
Thank you so, so much Naty!
I hope you’ll give it a try, it’s such a lovely read 🙂
Every time someone loves Red White and Royal Blue, five years are added to my lifespan. I’m so happy you enjoyed it! June looks like it was a pretty good month of reading for you, and I’m glad to hear you’ve gotten encouraging feedback from beta readers about your writing 😀 Have fun with all your upcoming travels!!
Ahahah I get that feeling, it happens to me when people read my favorite books too 😀
Thank you so, so much! I hope you’ll have a wonderful month <3
Happy holidays, Marie ☺️ I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. I wish I could go on a summer vacation too ?
You read pretty good books this month. I want to read so many of those.
It’s good to take a blogging break. Don’t worry, it’s a pretty short one ☺️
Have a happy July.
Thank you so much Sim!! <3 I can't help but worry even if it's just for a little bit and I still have some things I need to plan out haha ?
I hope you'll have a beautiful July <3
Enjoy your break Marie!!!
Thank you so much! 🙂

Your vacation sounds amazing , hope you have a great time, seem like you’ve had a blogging month
Thank you so much!! 🙂
You have had such a fantastic month! I think that it is always a good idea to take a step back from the blog every once in a while. I am super jealous about your travels.Have a wonderful time. 🙂
Thank you so much, you’re so sweet! <3 and yes it's much needed every now and then haha 🙂
I’m so glad you got encouraging news from beta readers about your WIP. Sometimes that can be exactly the motivation you need to KEEP GOING! Good for you! 🙂
Yes exactly, I know that has given me so much more motivation to keep on going now. <3
Thank you so much Nicole! <3
Ahhh Marie!! I’m so excited for you to travel more, and your photo of Croatia looks so beautiful!! I’ve always wanted to travel there, and honestly, I love seeing your travel pictures because I just live vicariously through you ?I can’t wait for more fun pics and stories of you and Nyx to your next C travel destination. Take all the time for your blogging vacation because it’s honestly super well deserved so I’m excited for you and your adventures!! I’m also excited for when you’re ready to come back ❤️
Ahh thank you Tiffany, you’re too sweet! I won’t be too gone or gone too long either and I still have some obligations but I’m looking forward to just step away from it all for a while, I think it’s needed ?
Thank you so, so much <3 <3 <3
I didn’t know that Croatia is THAT beautiful! Hope you have some fun there!
It really looks stunning 🙂 thank you so, so much! <3
Marie, I just came across your blog. 6 books is great! I am super jealous of your trip to Croatia! I hope it’s both safe & fun! Maybe your next trip is…Cancun??
Anyway, I look forward to reading more of your posts!
Ahh thank you, you’re so sweet, thank you so much! 😀
And… it’s not Cancun, the suspense continues haha 😀
Thank you so, so much! <3 <3
Okay, if you’re going to China, you HAVE to let me know (because I am Chinese >:) ) but oooooh I am so excited to see all of your travels and picssss. Also, yes x infinity to Red White, and Royal Blue– I feel like the entirety of the bookish community has the general consensus that RWRB is absolutely, absolutely AMAZING and one of the best romantic books, ever. I’m so excited to read Wicked Fox, and I’m so happy that you liked that one!
Ahh no I’m not going to China (that would be exciting though!!)
Thank you so, so much Ju and ahh I can’t wait for you to read Wicked Fox, it was such a fun read 😀
I hope you’ll have a beautiful month <3
LOLLL okay well let’s pretend I didn’t make that guess shhhhhhhh!! I’m so excited to see which country you’re going to though!!
I’m so excited as well ahhhhh. Thank you!! <3 <3
I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip! Would love to see some pictures!
Thank you so much! I’ll make sure to share some 🙂
Hey Marie!!!
Wow that’s so exciting that you have many travel plans coming up ahead!!! I can’t wait to hear about your trip when you are back!!! I don’t have any big trips planned in the near future but I’ll live vicariously through you?! 😀
That’s awesome to hear that you’ve been getting good feedback on your novel! Definitely well-deserved!! You’ve worked hard on it and it shows!! That’s great that you have another idea in the works and I’m looking forward to hearing more about it!!
Thank you so much for mentioning my posts <3 Have a wonderful July! (Can you believe it's July already!??!)
Thank you so much Sophie!! I’m very excited and eager to get away 🙂
Thank you, this means so, so much and thank you for all of your support <3 I hope you will have a beautiful July <3
I think 6 books over a month while working a full time job is amazing! I only average 8-10 books per month and I’m NOT working full time… or at all over the summer lol
That is so exciting that you received positive feedback from your beta readers! You should feel proud! Good luck on your writing!
Forgot to add: Safe travels!!! Have an amazing time 🙂
Ahh, thank you!! <3
Oh thank you Amanda, you’re so sweet <3 <3 <3
I hope you'll have a lovely July <3 <3
Oooh, Croatia! Have fun <3 I haven't been there for quite a while… it was 25 years ago last time i went, so i'm pretty sure a lot has changed 🙂
Aaand another place with C…? Hmm… Cambodia? 😀
Have a wonderful month! <3
Ahh thank you so much Norrie! <3 and not Cambodia, no! 🙂
Thank you so much <3
EEP I MUST READ WICKED FOX *insert grabby hands here* But seriously, just look at that cover! Plus, I’m a sucker for K-Dramas, and this one feels like one in book form.
ALSO, you get to go TRAVELINGGGGG and I am so excited for you! I hope you have the time of your life and that it’s a relaxing, fun trip ??
Yes yeees you should, it was such an amazing read!! 😀
Thank you so much Kat <3 <3
aahhh marie i’m so glad you loved red white and royal blue! i’ve heard so many different people say how much they loved it, and i can’t wait to read it. i’ve also been seeing the wicked fox around different book blogs, and it seems like something i would love.
also, croatia seems beautiful. i hope you’ll have fun, and when you return, don’t forget to write about your trip – i’d love to read about it! this summer, i’ll be visiting some countries in europe including france, the netherlands and the united kingdom, and i’m looking forward to and dreading it at the same time, because at the end of the trip, my family would be dropping my younger sister off at boarding school in england. i’ll miss her so much!
happy reading!
I can’t wait for you to read red, white and royal blue either, it’s such a great read <3
Oh thank you! I hope you'll have a fantastic time in Europe (YAY FOR FRANCE HELLO, sorry I'm being … very French right now hahaha), that's so exciting 😀
Thank you so much, happy reading to you too <3
I hope you have a lovely time in Croatia 😀 and then also wherever it is that you’re travelling to later on too. Good luck with your new writing project and that’s so lovely about all of the positive feedback that you’ve received on your other piece.
Thank you so, so much Charlotte!! <3 <3 <3
Holly Bourne’s books sound really good! Also have a great holiday!
She writes FANTASTIC books, the ones I’ve read, I loved, especially Am I Normal Yet 🙂
Thank you <3 <3
Could it be Canada????? 😀 😀 😀 Hahah I hope you’ll have a blast in Croatia though! I’m currently on my own Euro trip right now and will be heading to London soon! Make the most of your adventure and rest as much as you can, Marie!
LASHAAN. It…. might… be ?
AH this is SO EXCITING I hope you’ll have a fantastic time on your trip and that you will love London, I adore this city so much <3
Thank you! <3 <3
Croatia looks so beautiful, I hope you have a great trip Marie! And please try not to worry about the blogging break—you 100% deserve a vacation. As for the “C” location—maybe Chile? The Caribbean? Costa Rica? (If it’s Costa Rica, I would love to squeal about it with you, because I went there for a school trip and it was AMAZING.)
It was absolutely stunning <3 Thank you, Annie! And unfortunately, no, but Costa Rica seems SO AMAZING I would love to go there someday! It's SO great that you were able to go there ahhhhhhhhhh!! 😀
I hope you have so much fun on your trip!
Thank you so much!! <3
I hope you’ll have a great vacation. <3
Thank you so much! <3 <3
Have fun travelling Marie! You deserve these breaks and just relax, you’re freaking 9 books ahead of your GR goal! ?
Thank you so, so much Charvi, you’re too sweet <3 <3
I hope you have lots of fun and sunshine on your vacation, Marie! I’ll be reading The Black Veins this month, so it’s wonderful to see how so many people have enjoyed the book!
I can’t wait to read your book someday 🙂
Thank you so, so much Cam, I really did <3
I can't wait to hear what you think of The Black Veins, it was such a great read 🙂
Aww, thank you, this means so much! <3 <3
I hope you have fun in Croatia! 😀 It’s been years since I went to the seaside. I should probably change that in the future, I do miss swimming in the ocean.
I really want to read Red, White and Royal Blue and Wicked Fox. Both of those books sound amazing! I hope you have a nice and relaxing break Marie! <3
Thank you so much Anna, I really did <3
I hope you'll love these two books, they were SO good 😀
I’d say six books a month is a great amount! And I’ve also had some much needed great feedback from betas recently. It makes such a difference hearing people loved something.
I hope you enjoy the holidays!
Thank you so, so much! <3 <3
omg, I’ve been seeing your Croatia photos on Instagram, and I’ve totally fallen in love. I have to admit that Croatia wasn’t even on my list of places to visit, but man, you’ve really have made me want to! I hope you have an AMAZING time. xx
Melina | http://www.melinaelisa.com
Ahhhh well I’m so happy if I could made you add it to your bucket list, it was absolutely stunning there <3
Thank you!! <3
What a great reading month you had, and I am so excited to hear all about your trip to Croatia!!! I want to go there so badly, it looks absolutely beautiful – I hope you had a great time! You also deserve the breaks, so I hope you are resting up nicely, love!
Ahh thank you so much Kal! Croatia was stunning, I loved it there so, so much <3
Thank you <3 <3
What a lovely wrap up! It sounds like you had a great reading month, and congrats on being so ahead of your reading goal!! I’m sure you’ll be able to make it to 60 before the year is over! I need to make some more progress in my YARC tbr too! Haha. I’m so happy that you’ve been receiving lots of positive feedback for your WIP! I’m sure it’s incredible! I the new writing project you’re working on is going smoothly!
Wishing you the happiest of Julys! <3
Thank you so much, Kelly! I have so many books I want to read for YARC, but other books keep coming in between and ahh. I hope we will read more books for this wonderful challenge soon 🙂
Thank you so much, I hope that July has been beautiful to you <3 <3
Glad red white and royal blue is worth the hype and that you’re getting such good feedback on your WIP 😀 Lovely wrap up! <3
Thank you!! <3 <3
