I&#8217;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!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m aiming for at least 5 books read this month. 1 of which is going to be a Jane Austen novel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is what I have on deck as of now:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Persuasion<\/li>\n<li>Emma<\/li>\n<li>Dungeon Crawler Carl (finish)<\/li>\n<li>The Count of Monte Cristo (just whittling through, not aiming to finish this month)<\/li>\n<li>Carl&#8217;s Doomsday Scenario (2nd book)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I probably will add a few more as I go along, these are just what&#8217;s on my &#8220;menu&#8221; so as per restaurant rules&#8230;things are subject to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m starting out at 155lbs on August 1st.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;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)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also looking to save up as much money as I can. I&#8217;m looking to add a side gig (or two) and scrimp and save as much as I can.\u00a0 I want to have at least 100 or so in savings by the end of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The last goal I have for the month of August is to be more active here on my blog. I&#8217;m looking to get some reviews up. I&#8217;ll post at least once a week to keep things moving and to check in on my goals.<\/p>\n<p>What are you lovely humans doing this month?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;ll be joining (and maybe doing at least part of the readathon!) so why don&#8217;t you check it out!\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seasonsreading.blogspot.com\/2026\/08\/2026-high-summer-readathon-shall-we.html\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1350\" data-original-width=\"1080\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjYkx9zUgReAr9XDMz8OJZYdPmEXUtWBwiZPMkDwHAjGS8Hsu9mo-Z18JXtZVO2tgclXFq5jtuQ-6yxRL-J2QFqoyXJo1EWBw0eMFBtVFdOxWDoabMJu4d5G5SpVXGrsHXvLk6UPIJPYJ10e_rjiHnWECW5PY8zYIgVcNptiC0HVaUK3WqxulTGC5FNmfE\/s320\/762916576_10244790988133571_6446021926429474257_n.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Welcome to August!
