Welcome to August! I’m going to do my best to make this a very productive month. I have goals, I have the motivation, and I have the plans!
I’m aiming for at least 5 books read this month. 1 of which is going to be a Jane Austen novel.
This is what I have on deck as of now:
- Persuasion
- Emma
- Dungeon Crawler Carl (finish)
- The Count of Monte Cristo (just whittling through, not aiming to finish this month)
- Carl’s Doomsday Scenario (2nd book)
I probably will add a few more as I go along, these are just what’s on my “menu” so as per restaurant rules…things are subject to change.
I am also looking to lose 5lbs by the end of the month. I think this is a doable goal, an easy one for a whole month. I’m starting out at 155lbs on August 1st.
I’m learning Spanish, teaching myself, so I am going to be doing that too this month. I have resources to help but any suggestions would be lovely! (Just kindly ask for free or at least very very cheap if you do make suggestions)
I’m also looking to save up as much money as I can. I’m looking to add a side gig (or two) and scrimp and save as much as I can. I want to have at least 100 or so in savings by the end of the month.
The last goal I have for the month of August is to be more active here on my blog. I’m looking to get some reviews up. I’ll post at least once a week to keep things moving and to check in on my goals.
What are you lovely humans doing this month?
Update! My lovely friend Michelle is hosting an all month long event with a 24 hour readathon smack dab in the middle of the month! I’ll be joining (and maybe doing at least part of the readathon!) so why don’t you check it out!
