Monthly Wrap Up: December 2020
Can you believe it's already December? This year went by so fast, even if sometimes it seemed like time was dragging. It's traditionally time to look back at the year, but I'll keep most of that for the annual anniversary post in March. Here I'm only going to say that I basically met non of my goals set for myself. But then, 2020 brought on challenges none of us saw coming. We've been taking things easy in December to give us some breathing room, so we only had a couple of reviews and tour encore posts.

Monthly Wrap Up: November 2020
November came and went and my second month living alone has passed. I spent November on different crafting projects and reading some truly awesome books. And giving the blog a bit of face lifting. What? I can't stop fiddling with it, go away. But of course, we had some other posts other than reviews as well - cover reveals, an interview, book tours.

Monthly Wrap Up: October 2020
Aside the excitement of my moving, in October blog posts were written, SPFBO books were read, lists were made, tours were organized.

Monthly Wrap Up: September 2020
September turned out to be a way busier month than I expected, and that's saying something. With a twist of fate even I didn't see coming, I ended up renting a flat. Official moving in day is October 1st. Things happened within 2 weeks basically. What started out as a casual looking around for flats resulted in my actually renting one. The funny thing is, I only really looked at 2 before jumping on the second one. I did not expect to move anytime before February, really. Oh well.

Monthly Wrap Up: August 2020
August went away pretty quickly. I had a 2 weeks long vacation, 1 of which I spent in the countryside which was a nice break. I also read 3 books that week which is not something that happens to me a lot these days. But since we came home my sleeping went to shit and I'm still trying to catch up to myself and not feel like a train went through me... Anyway, vacation did not mean I was being lazy.

Monthly Wrap Up: July 2020
July, thankfully was a much calmer/quieter month, although this might be because I pretty much kept to myself. I had some ups and downs in my mood and had a lot of things to think about. And I was also busy with the blog, Storytellers on Tour and SPFBO. I promise I'll stop fiddling with the blog design one day... But I quite like the new header images, so... *shrug*

Monthly Wrap Up: June 2020
Hoo boy, June was A MONTH. And we are only halfway through 2020. It started with me working my ass off to get the blog ready for the moving. That is, we moved RockStarlit BookAsylum from Wordpress.com to a self-hosted Wordpress site and if I can say so, it looks fucking great. Which is only fair, as I worked more on this than I care to admit. On the day before the final move I basically sat before my screen for 12 hours straight to make sure everything is as it should be. And that was only the last day. But thankfully everything went well and to celebrate we announced…

Monthly Wrap Up: May 2020
I know 2020 is a complete shit show so far, and I hope you are all safe and well. I sure have my own struggles - apparently my optometrist have no clue why my glasses which are supposed to be good, aren't actually good and give me troubles. It greatly affects my everyday life and reading (thank fuck for audiobooks). But I try not to let that get in my way and not to take too much painkillers for my headaches... Life is fun, huh? Anyway, I'm not here to whine about myself, but to tell you all about what we were up to in May!

Monthly Wrap Up: April 2020
Is it just me, or April really went by fast? It definitely seemed shorter than March. Weird. I definitely had more good days this month, so that's a plus. I also worked on some secret stuff, which was fun. In an "OMG, what the hell am I doing?" way, lol. I also discovered The Unbelievable Truth series on Audible, and since I'm starting my days with audiobooks, I figured listening to something that makes me laugh would actually do some good for me. I'm only 2 days in, but so far it seems to be working. *shrug*

Monthly Wrap Up: March 2020
March definitely wasn't good for my mental health. I had more downs than ups, and the fact that my wages got dropped for the time being didn't improve things, that's for sure. It was also my blog anniversary month and it honestly didn't go as well as I hoped which by the end of the month left me totally unmotivated toward blogging.
