I read 5 books in September: Life gets in the way

Oops I did it again…

Starting a full-time job for the first time has had a massive impact on every other aspect of my life. Duh. I had anticipated this, but by September I really felt the brunt of all these life changes. I moved house at the end of August, and as I type this at the start of October, I have yet to fully settle in. I am almost two months into my job and I am still loving it – but have yet to find a routine I am happy with when it comes to work/life balance. Each weekend I seemed to have had busy plans, and so in October I hope to reclaim my weekends, to build habits and routines I feel happier with long-term. This whole adult thing really does take up a lot of time doesn’t it?!

So unfortunately a lot of things had to be dropped in September. I have scaled down as much as I can in many areas, but one area I refuse to cut back on is reading. If anything, I want to increase my monthly average back up to around 6-10 books a month. Fingers crossed. This month could have been worse! I read some fantastic books. September’s reading was quality over quantity for the most part. So while things were slower than past months, I still had a great month…

The funny thing about working full time in social media and web content is when you get home you kind of… don’t want to do anymore of it! So my brain capacity to come up with reviews and captions has been none existent. It’s frustrating as I am still taking pictures and have so much to say. The words just aren’t quite coming yet. So for this month, I hope a simple star rating will suffice for now, and I hope to post my thoughts on each book gradually over the month on Instagram. See you in November!
