July Book Blowout Update

by

Thank goodness for the weekend, that’s all I can say. And now for my latest July Book Blowout update.

Books Read: 2/8
Pages Read: 560

Well, I’m still quite behind in the challenge, but I’m actually quite proud of what I have done so far. I have some ‘emergency’ reviews stashed away and I haven’t had to use even one of them this month so far.

I have yet to say whether or not I think I can read the remaining six books in the time I have left, but I’ll try. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of big projects that have popped up all the sudden - the biggest of which has a July deadline - so we’ll just have to see how things go as far as getting everything done on time.

The books I’ve read so far - Don’t You Marry The Mormon Boys and Janeology - were both good, and I’m very happy for the run of good books. I’m confident that my third book - Sabriel won’t disappoint on that end. The only trouble there is that it is making me get in the mood to work on my fantasy novel, which I certainly don’t have time for right now.

I also received a few books to review recently, so those should be a lot of fun to read.

If you are participating in the July Book Blowout, be sure to let me know how you’re doing in the comments. Leave a link to your blog/site where you are documenting your progress.

Have a great weekend! I’ll be back here on Monday with the new Monday game.
