Happy September everyone! NEWTs was tiring and I will have a look back at my NEWTs at some point this upcoming month. As a note, this is the month that I plan to finish my TBR and TBrR for series to read.

August Reading List
Oh my goodness, I pulled it off. I actually did it! I can’t believe I did. For those of you who are new or just following for the first time, I suppose, I did the NEWTs exams for August. My goal was Auror with two additional classes, because I can’t make my life easy.
Info on the Reading Challenge or my post here
This was only pretty much horrible for me for three reasons. One: I had to read an audio book (but that was a lot of fun and that review is coming tomorrow). Two: One of the series isn’t completed (thank heavens tho, because I hated The Keepers). Three: I had to pick up a series I accidentally DNFed (which I ended up loving. The Wicked series reviews will come later next month). I really pushed myself this month, to do things outside of my comfort zone. Was I rewarded? I think so. I read a lot of great books this month. I was not able to read the +3 (three books that I added because I started one series but did not finish it). Oh well no harm no foul, right?
But you aren’t here to hear me ramble. Scores for my NEWTs!

Fairyloot Box: Things Are Not What They Seem
I got this Wednesday night, but decided to post today because I really didn’t want to post later. It also took me a day, with trying to pass my NEWTS, to take photos. The following is my reaction to getting it, immediately after I got it:
It is here! Oh my gosh it is here! When I picked it up it rattled and I didn’t know what that meant. I was really afraid something broke, but nope! We are all good! This box is also amazing. August has been a great month for book boxes. This time we get two photos because so many of these things are changeable or reversible.

Sorry for the lateness of this, although I’m not sure anyone cared much other than me.
I remember really liking this box of tea, it had a lot of flavors that I really liked. I do recommend these teas for anyone who is interested.

I saw that Unicorn Crate was doing this theme and against my better judgement (does it exist? I’m not entirely sure sometimes), I bought it. I bought it and thought that it couldn’t be bad if it was theme about dragons. I was right. It is amazing. I love everything in this box and I hope that others had a similar experience with their boxes. This box is everything.

Hello all! I think today is as good a day as any to post thrice. I want to talk about a few things.
First off, Book boxes.
I should get my Fairy Loot box today. Probably. Two, I will be getting the Queen of Nothing book box from Fairy Loot — mostly because I really like the idea of it.
Two, Newts
As of today I have six books left. This is actually a lot but the goal is to get one of them done today. I am freaking out that I will not finish in time. It’s a massive freak out really. Because I had eight left last week, but then three more as extras, for a grand total of 11. Four of these books are from Wicked‘s series. AKA long. Wish me luck. I have four days to pull this off.
Three, Tea Post
Sorry about not posting the second tea post for January yesterday. I simply… forgot to finish taking pictures of all the teas. It’ll be here today!
Until Next Time,
MM
Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to Own
” Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. ” I found this challenge/activity through the blog Kitty Marie (https://kittymariebookreviews.home.blog/) and I thought it would be a fun thing to try. Since I am so often without without a clue as to what to post over the course of the week. Without further ado…
“August 27: Books I’ve Read That I’d Like In My Personal Library (perhaps you checked it out, borrowed it from a friend, received it for review, etc. and want to own it yourself.) (Submitted by Annemieke @ A Dance with Books) “
You may be surprised, but I can answer this question. Surprisingly… Without any particular order (well except for 1)

I decided to give you all the teas I have gotten in the recent months, from my tea box subscription that you can be sure I will be continuing (if money permits). I have my tea box subscription through sipsby.com. One of my closest friends bought me the subscription for Christmas, and my life has never been the same again (I have so many teas). January will come later this afternoon at some time.
