Welcome to September lovelies!
It’s absolutely bonkers how fast August went… I’m still catching myself up to the fact that’s officially the start of September and time for the Hogwarts House Battles Read-a-thon. If you’re unfamiliar with this, have a look at the twitter page hosted by @swizzlemonster1. Honestly, I’ve been anticipating this month for a while.
