September Wrap Up

Let’s just agree to ignore the fact that there was no August Wrap Up. Honestly – not a lot happened in August except that the two of us got shipped to the Kimberley for a rural immersion experience – and immerse ourselves we did. We roasted marshmallows on a campfire built using our own bare hands (jks we wore gloves – s’mores are great but #safetyfirst,) made a circle of love with our camping pods (which later expanded into a rectangle of love,) went to the Derby Rodeo, and of course – ate at least one ice cream a day (it’s called thermoregulation, look it up.)

Shoutout to our friend Nishita who is an innocent bystander in these photos (yep there is an Anisha and a Nishita in our year – and it causes Nish to have a daily identity crisis)

We also had our Med Ball, where we all dressed to the nines and pretended we hadn’t seen everyone looking like cranky swamp trolls just a few weeks earlier.

As for September, all that happened was that we had 4 assignments due plus a bunch of placements requiring us to be awake at obscene hours.

On the bright side – we got to see Troye Sivan live!! He was an absolute ANGEL.

• Nyx @ Drizzle & Hurricane books talked about 10 NA books she’s dying to read (turns out NA isn’t just #sexytimes?!)
• Siobhan @ Novelties discusses embracing hiatuses and we couldn’t agree more! (definitely not just saying this because we’re planning to disappear during exam season lel)
• Aimee @ Aimee, Always wrote a guest post on Shut Up, Shealea about 3 Chinese myths she’d loved to see as YA books
• Xandra @ Starry Sky Books shares things she should’ve known as a new blogger (she also just celebrated her first blogiversary, so definitely go shower her with love and virtual hugs!)
• Rain @ The Withering posted about weird things she does as a reader and we grew an extra ab each from laughing

We are entering the Endgame regarding exams so we may be a little absent for a while, but we promise to be back with many more fun posts as soon as we can!

Hope you all had a fantastic September!

Happy reading,
