It’s that time again folks…another 30 While 30 update!! I can’t believe it’s already September!!! Where has this year gone??

Like last month I will only be posting about the goals I accomplished, not going through my whole list again. If you would like to see the original post you can check it out here.

So here we go…

5. Read 50 books. (48/50) I got in 8 more books this month!! Confession, a couple of these are audiobooks from when I went on vacation but they totally count!

I LOVE James Patterson!!! I listened to these as audiobooks and he definitely keeps you awake while driving!

10. Go see my grandparents. This month Sophie and I took a little road trip and went to see my grandparents!! We had the best time and I’m sorry I didn’t get any actual pics of them. Blogger fail. #wompwomp

18. Try 5 new Starbucks drinks. (7/5) I have actually surpassed this goal!! YAY!! This month I tried a new drink I found on  Starbucks Secret Menu. I LOVE this drink and it will definitely be a regular in my book!

    I just finished Requiem Saturday night myself. I’ll be posting a review this week so you can see what I thought of it.

    I want to read The Mortal Instruments series but my library doesn’t carry them in eBook format apparently. Guess I might have to go to the library eventually to pick up an actual book!

    And as always I added some new books to my to-read list!

    I want to order that Butter Pecan Frappucino! That secret menu is so cool…I wonder if the people at my Starbucks will be able to make what I ask for or look at me like I’m crazy. When your ordered it, did they just know how to make it or did you have to explain it?

    I need to go see my grandparents. It’s just a 10 hour drive, but I need to find a good time to go. You’re such a good granddaughter ;)
