Happy Saturday, friends! I hope you are having just as great a weekend as I am! Today I’m going to give you a review of my month, and hopefully I will get some feedback on yours!
Books
This month I have been in the process of rereading the Keeper of the Lost Cities series along with many other Keeper fans. Shannon Messenger, the author of the series, is doing a Keeper-Read-Along, where each week, we read one of the books in the series. I’ve already gotten through the first two books, Keeper of the Lost Cities and Exile. I’m almost finished with the third book, Everblaze. I’m really enjoying it so far!
I’m still reading the other series I was working on as well, The Mitford Years. I’m on the fifth book, called A New Song, and still loving it!
I will probably finish A New Song and Everblaze tomorrow, which means I will have completed my goal of five books this month! Yay!
Writing
I regret to say I didn’t get much writing done this month. I was really focused on reading. I’ve made a new writing goal for July, and I’m confident I’m going to do better.
Blogging
This month did not go very well in the blogging area for me. I only got three posts out, and I didn’t get very many views. But I know I will do better next month.
Bullet Journal
Yay! This was the area I excelled in! I got a lot done in my bullet journal this month, and I am really excited to show you the pictures of next month! I worked very hard on them, and I think I did really well!
The picture you saw at the top of the post was my title page, and if you can’t tell, the two themes for this month are watermelons and patriotic colors. I found the watermelon idea on Pinterest, and I decided to also do some red, white (or in this case, gray), and blue since July fourth is coming up. The picture above is my monthly overview. On the left page, I have my calendar, notes section (to mark down special events), goals section, and a quote (also found on Pinterest). On the right page, I have my books section (where I write down what books I’ve read), memories section (where I jot down special things I want to remember), sleep tracker, writing section (where I record how much time I spend writing each week), and blogging section.
This is my mood tracker, and I came up with this idea on my own (amazing, right?). I am not the best artist, but I’m working on it. I combined all the moods I could think of into three categories, and then I can choose a color according to the moods I felt most and color in the correct section of the watermelon rind.
I did use Pinterest for this page. I was tired of using the same layout and wanted to try something new. For each habit, when I’ve completed it, I’ll color in the date with a colored pencil. Hopefully, I’ll like this layout better than the last.
Well, that’s it! How did June go for you? Have you enjoyed your summer break? Are you a Keeper fan? Are you looking forward to July? Let me know in the comments! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for reading! Happy writing!
