Leave a comment

Welcome to my monthly recap, where I recap the previous month and share my reading goals for the next month! I used to just strictly share what books I’d wanted to read and what I’d read but I am trying a new thing where I share all the posts from the month as well, in case you missed anything and want to catch up! Let’s see how this goes.

September was a pretty good month for me! I really feel like things have picked up on the blog for me and I really feel like I’m reading a lot!

Blogtober Challenge 2019!

Leave a comment

Hey guys! I’m really stoked to share that I’m going to be working my BUTT off this month to take on the Blogtober challenge! I was browsing Twitter and I kept stumbling upon Blogtober so of course I had to figure it out. I failed at finding the origins or any of that but basically Blogtober is a challenge to bloggers – any type of blogger – to post content on their blog every single day of the month. When I first started What A Nerd Girl Says, I had NO problems doing that and I’ve definitely struggled with that over the past few years BUT I’m super happy that I’ve been able to get back to blogging consistently and I’m excited to take on this challenge! Keep an eye out every day this month for content! I’ll be doing normal posts, of course, but I’m going to do my best to have some special ones scattered throughout the month!

Every year for the past fifty-four years, the residents of Pinsbury Port have received a mysterious letter inviting all eligible-aged boys to compete for an esteemed scholarship to the all-male Stemwick University. The poorer residents look to see if their names are on the list. The wealthier look to see how likely their sons are to survive. And Rhen Tellur opens it to see if she can derive which substances the ink and parchment are created from, using her father’s microscope.
