May Wrap Up 2021

Hi guys!

I know I say this in every wrap up post but I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by!
I always say these are some of my favourite posts to write because there is something so rewarding about seeing all you accomplished in a month written down. I’ve been keeping up with my unusually high books read each month, but I didn’t manage to get to Realm Breaker so that’s not great but I’m glad I’m still reading loads. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and I can’t wait to hear about some of your monthly favourites down below too!

Music Faves:

Usually I link to loads of Youtube videos in this section, but I actually am a Deezer User (I have used it since I was 12) and I finally worked out that I can just link directly to my playlists on there.
This one is my monthly favourites playlist – I put my most played music of the month on there and then I clear it out at the end of the month and start fresh (sometimes I keep a track on for more than one month if I am really enjoying it)
I hope this link works, I’ll type out the songs on the playlist below just in case.

Favourite Blog Post of the Month:

I’m becoming a broken record with this section sadly – I again made very little time to read all your blogs so please, leave your favourite posts of the last month linked below so I can check them out!

Favourite Thing This Month:

This month I decided to try to learn the Bass Guitar. I am starting out with just playing root notes before I start on trying to learn the actual bass lines but I am really enjoying it at the moment so hopefully I’ll keep this up in June.

So that’s it for this month’s wrap up. I hope you enjoyed this and that you are all safe and healthy ❤ And I hope you have a great day and I’ll see you on Wednesday with my word of the week!
