Here's a big advantage of being a teacher: able to read all day, while I watch my kids play at the park, or the beach, or the back yard. So, I've been doing a lot of reading. I don't usually read several books at a time, but I've got books stashed in several places for reading while I'm there: in my purse, in bed, in the living room. I read 15 books in July! I finished off 4 challenges: the nonfiction, summer reading, summer mystery, and the southern Reading challenge which was probably my favorite of the year. I'm going to do a wrap up post for those challenges soon. Happy reading to you all.

Great job on getting those contest done! I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed too. I got 15 books done as well which is a new monthly record for me. I usually average 11. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWow, me too on the impressed list. I read 12 and it was a fabulous month for me.
ReplyDeletethanks, it won't always be this great, but I'm not doing much else these days, the lazy, hazy days of summer. It feels great to finish a challenge
