June Wrap-Up



Another month has zipped on by. I have been out of school for four weeks, and have just four weeks until I go back. Sigh. Already half of 2011 is over and gone. I managed to get a fair number of books read in June, with no end in sight to my overflowing TBR pile. Here's the rundown:


1. Once Upon a Time There Was You by Elizabeth Berg

2. Faith by Jennifer Haigh

3. Dogtag Summer by Elizabeth Partridge

5. The Bee Eater by Richard Whitmore

12. The Girl With the Silver Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts

9 books were middle grade/YA 18 were adult

6 books were non-fiction 21 were fiction

9 books were written by male authors, 18 by females

6 books I owned, 21 were library books

1 book was read on my Kindle

So far in 2011 I have read 161 books, well on my way to reaching my 300 book goal. However, I know that with school starting and the holidays I don't necessarily read as much in the second half of the year. I'll just have to read when I get the chance and try to get through as many books as possible.
