Wrap Up: October 2023

October passed in a blur because I had a trip I have been anticipating for well over a year now – Egypt! I traveling to Egypt from October 7-16. The timing was not great with everything happening over there but I was with a group and I was safe the entire time. It was an incredible experience to visit Egypt and I’m so glad I went!

Yet I still managed to keep busy at home too! I went to the Brooklyn Book Festival on October 1st – it’s held annually and I highly recommend checking it out if you’re local to NYC!

I attended 2 concerts and saw 5 Broadway shows.

I only read 3 books this month and DNF-ed 1, but I think that’s still pretty good considering I didn’t read at all while traveling and then recovering once home.

Check out my month of October:

Wrap Up: September 2023

September was a really great month! I started off the month by driving 5 hours (each way…) up to Syracuse, NY to see my favorite band The Fray play the NY State Fair! That gave me a lot of audiobook listening time LOL.

I also went to Susan Lee’s event at The Ripped Bodice in Brooklyn for The Name Drop! It was so nice to attend an author event~!

I attended 4 concerts and saw 7 Broadway shows. I found a new music obsession with the Italian rock band Måneskin – so if they’re coming to a city near you I highly recommend seeing them.

I read 6 books this month – 3 of them were very short books but hey, it counts! The First Bright Thing is going to be one of my favorites of the year, it was incredible!

Wrap Up: April 2023

Ah April, the month where the weather is 80F degrees one day and 50F degrees the next, false spring has arrived!

April was another busy but good month. I had a short weekend getaway to Smith Island in Maryland, it was gorgeous, 10/10 recommend! They even have a speciality cake!!! HECK YEAH!

I attended 4 concerts, and saw 10 Broadway & off-Broadway shows.

I read 7 books this month and DNF-ed 1 book this month. My favorite read this month was an arc of Ander & Santi Were Here by Jonny Garza Villa and I highly recommend it! As a Broadway fan, I also really enjoyed Working on a Song: The Lyrics of HADESTOWN looking at the lyrics of Hadestown – and I want to see the show again soon~!
