End of August, early september ..
Good morning everyone.
Here we are, a month passed us by again- along with the summer! Let’s face it it’s not really a change for me so to speak as sadly I didn’t got any summer holiday ahah; however, Alex do start college next week so one more thing we need to juggle with😪
How was your summer ? over here it was just .. way too hot. we reached many heatwaves upping 40°C + every times so eh. Not for me, i’ll happily take the autumn fresh air anytime now !
August’s habit tracker ;
First thing I gotta say, I got way less lazy with my blogging than last month’s ! Though while writing this on the 27th, I haven’t went back and returned my last 3 day’s comment yet (Should be done before it posts!). reading-wise however .. I had a blump – which is the reason under my DNFed book. And yet again as I said above.. it’s just impossible to walk the weeins when it’s 40 degrees out; even at nighttime it was just still hot and humid. I took the evenings where I could after finishing at 11pm where id walk up the road and run it down. In general, I think it still looks pretty good, maybe even better than last month’s ?
August’s events ;
⚓ Earlier this month, I did a talky post explaining what had happened before the 19th, which you can read here (#bookishwish, got a bit sick, I lost a dear one and finally gave blood)
⚓ Again, I finished two books; “La sirene et la licorne” my french F/F romance from NetGalley, and “The sea was a fair master” that was a review request. I also DNFed another NetGalley, which in the end just wasn’t a book for me, “Ghostheart”.
⚓ I’m currently reading a book for my first blog tour !! eeekk !! i’m so excited, the book is really good so far.
⚓ On that note, only 3 remaining on my deadline to read !!! finally. Two NetGalley’s; french copy of “When Dimple met richi”, and “The general theory of haunting”. Aswell as a review request; “Angels can’t swim”.
⚓ Haven’t heard anything on last month’s jobs I had applied to, and I went and applied to 3 different ones at our french hospital ! Next month will mark the one year that I had started where I am, which will grant me a raise but you know .. would be nice to have a bit more and hopefully only working daytime to fit better with Alex’s schedule.
⚓ Talking of him, we finally put that we were in a relationship together on facebook ahah as it was just saying “in a relationship” before; it’s more a “see that I am his and he’s mine” thing rather than a “Show me you love me by affiching it” kinda thing.

Phew ! I could have added quite LOT more to my wonderful list, there was so many awesome posts this month – but let’s keep it to 10 or we’d be here until next week heheh.
Onto the next month ;
I haven’t quite finished this part, as I still wanna get more quotes or inspirational things to write on the left. I’m also a bit dry rn on what I can possibly doodle in relation to “school month” .. mmh.. I also gave up the ruler on this one ahah – I find I much prefer it un-even (that backpack & apple looks horrible though xD)
My Habit Tracker remained quite the same as last month, but lines more messier. Oh and I added the books I DNFed to the same grade as if i’d finish a whole book, as we saw last month – DNF can still happens.
I mistakenly reversed the blogging pages and reading deadlines.. which ain’t a big deal. But yes, to follow my “school” theme, I did badly drew stars !! Like thoses you’d get when you do good; can you see which 3 posts will start next month ? 😏Sneakpeak !
So far only the blog tour is on my reading deadline, which ain’t too bad – Maybe I can finish my last ones on the previous month’s!
Lastly, if you wanna have a peak at my weeks, I did it free handed like last month but with no summery wavy lines around
Anything special happened this month? Did you started anything new in your BuJo or discovered a “must-have” page lately? Let me know ! xx
oh wow this looks awesome, now i want to try my hand at doing more blogging journaling. i only have a calander where i put up what i’d like to do and highlight what i DID do xD also that french f/f book looked interesting, i saw the cover and was like i want to read! but it looks like there isn’t an english book yet rip also good luck with your job hunting 🙂
Thank you ! you should so do it !!
noo it was an arc, so it had just came out :/ part of why I didn’t posted my review of it on my blog. Hopefully it will get translated !
ahhhh, no wonder T-T i hope it does get a translation and if not i can probably figure out whats going on with just the pictures xD and i’m going to try! me and consistency are not very good friends >_>
it’s not a book having pictures :/ I need to read more like thoses,
Thank you so much for including my post! <3 I love your spreads for the month of september! You really make me want to try my hand at Bullet Journaling again, lol. It sounds like you were experiencing some Good ol' Texas weather, of which I can relate to on so many levels being from Texas where on a typical summers day can get to around a nice sizzling 110. Weather is the best lol. OOO!!! Good luck with your job hunt! Fingers crossed you find the job that is absolutely perfect for you!
Thank you, and my pleasure !
yes you should try again !! So much fun.
OH my god that’s way too hot for me .. I cant xD I never could bare such weather, but even more than my meds doesn’t react well with it.
I love bullet journaling so much. Can’t wait to buy my new one for next year.
So do I! I so love bullet journal posts also 😍 some people gets so creative!

Its a start! I wasnt always like this- you can keep improving 😘
Sorry that you had to DNF some books. It never feels good to do so though. Your journal looks wonderful. You are so well organized.
And can’t wait to know your views on When Dimple Met Rishi. I hope you enjoy it.
And good luck with job hunting. It is never easy to find a right job but eventually, you would get one 🙂
Thank you! I got an interview in an arcade, which the manager said how i seemed to be a good fit AND they were looking for someone older! But I havent heard back yet.. though yesterday was technically a holiday, and if they open at 4.. we’ll see.
Good luck then ☺️
