Monthly Wrap-up: September 2015

Month in Review is a monthly meme which was created by Kathryn at Book Date

Well my least favourite season has come and gone. Goodbye hot, sticky, not-able-to-breathe summer and hello to beautiful, crisp autumn! I just love smell of the smoky air, the sound of leaves crunching underfoot and of course the vibrant changing of colours. I could do without the pumpkin spice everything though. 

Why is it that every time I sit down to type up my monthly wrap up I totally blank on what I did for the past 4 weeks? Does this happen to anyone else? 

What did I do? Ah! I went camping with some friends at the beginning of the month. I must say I prefer camping near the end of summer when the nights aren’t as hot for sleeping in a tent. It did rain a little bit, but we made the most of it anyway. We also did a little bit of sightseeing in the area nearby. Check out this yummy breakfast we made over the fire..

Hopefully we will visit this campground again next summer. 

This past month I joined up with #FitReaders, and failed miserably thanks to a cold that just lingered for a few weeks. I must get on track.. I MUST! 

Here on the blog I made some adjustments and additions to my new layout. I added my rating scheme to the sidebar and a page for my contact information. 

Now on to the books. I had a great month in reading, completing 6 books. I'd say that the quality of the books I read in September is on par with the quantity.
