Well, Summer is winding down, school has begun for most people, and more than half of the year is over. Just wow.

Kicking ARC August’s ass!
August was the month where I participated in an event that helps you tackle your arcs. Suffice to say, I kicked ass! I had a pile of 10 books, but only managed to read five (and start three others). I take it as a win though because I know how easily I could’ve not read any of the books I picked out for ARC August, being a mood reader and all.
I finally bought a fan.
Of course I wait until this month to buy a fan. It’s been very hot this month, so I needed to go out and get one. I went to four places to find a pedestal fan. Seriously the best purchase ever. I can actually sit in my room without sweating like I’m in a sauna.
Halsey’s album came out, and everybody was freaking out.
For very good reason too! I can’t stop listening and singing to it. It’s an AHMAZING album. GO LISTEN TO IT. AND REPORT BACK ON HOW YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
SITTING ON MY BOOKSHELF |

Unfortunately, I didn’t receive any books this month. :( I did buy comic issues. But watch out for September because holy book galoreeeeee. I ordered a few books a couple of days ago, so I should be receiving them sometime in early September.

Killjoys fulfills my love for space + friendships.
What is Killjoys about: “Killjoys follows a trio of hard-living but fun-loving bounty hunters – Dutch, John, and D’avin– taking on interplanetary missions, chasing and capturing deadly criminals throughout a distant system named the Quad. They have sworn amongst themselves to remain neutral during a bloody, multi-planetary class war that threatens to destroy the Quad.” — Syfy
Reasons to watch: I’ll give brief reasons because I do want to dedicate an entire post to why you should watch this amazing show.
- It’s set in space.
- It has badass + diverse characters.
- Johnny and Dutch’s friendship are everything! Just look at these bbs:
one · two · three · four · five · six · seven · eight
- It has found families. (You see it in the Killjoys friendship.)
- It’s funny.
- Awesome action + very fun!
- I said you should watch it.
If you love shows about space, bounty hunters, + friendships, you should definitely watch Killjoys. Even if you don’t love those, you should still watch this.
NOTE TO SELF FOR NEXT MONTH |

Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Comics, comics, comics.
I’m gonna take another page from last two months because I was incredibly productive. I hope I kick more asses in September, and do more graphic novels/comic posts.

HEY AYE
Wooohoooooo five books is A LOT. Here I am with a grand total of 0 for august, oh the shame. I think it was 0 for july too so man this slump is getting real.
A fan is a life saver. Although, now that I think of it, I don’t use one in summer. Which sounds stupid considering I boil in Australia LOL But I’ll stick it out until its so hot that it’s aircon worthy hahaha
YOUR FOOD PICS CAN U LIKE NOT OR LIKE AT LEAST SHARE??
I listed to one of the songs on the Halsey album and its so kickass! I need to put the rest of it on loop. I’ve been seeing my entire timeline going crazy for it!
I need to take a page out of your book and be productive for once!! I feel like I’ve got no achievements and its september already HAH. That’s just sad.
Freda says
Happy September reading!

Definitely going to give Killjoys a watch. Always down for space settings and badass characters.
Lauren @ Northern Plunder says

I just moved into a new flat and have 2 fans in my room and I only live in the UK haha

Yay for kicking butt at ARC August! You did an awesome job, Cee. Also, a total 100% yes to Halsey’s album! It’s seriously amazing.
