August Month in Review // September Preview


August was BUSY BUSY BUSY! 

I was away on vacation for part of it, and then I dove right in to two weeks of underwater fun with my annual Splash into Summer event. Emily from Oh, Magic Hour was my co-host, and her co-blogger Dani helped out, too!

While Splash into Summer took place during August, I'm NOT going to post any of the guest posts or features below because they're included on last week's Wrap-Up post. There were multiple posts a DAY, so the amount of posts can be overwhelming! (Though I'll include the reviews because BOOKS)

Go here instead to see everything we did during Splash!


Here's a look at everything that's been going on recently and everything still to come!


ONGOING GIVEAWAYS:

*100 Gift Card from FRAGILE REIGN Author Stacey O'Neale (10/1)

  1. You are one busy bee, Bonnie. With school I couldn't imagine reading this many books. I'm busy trying to finish my yearly challenges and start on books I want to read for events in 2015 such as fairytale fortnight.
