May Wrap Up
May!
In May I read 9 books for a total of 2,197 pages and an average of 70 pages per day. It seems I was too busy buying (and receiving) books this month to read as much as I wanted.
May Wrap Up
May!
I read 9 books for a total of 1,994 pages and an average of 64 pages per day. Thanks to my first ever reading slump, this has been my lowest month of the year across all the stats – I was also very busy turning 30 and celebrating nearly all month.
January Wrap Up

August Wrap Up
August!
In August I read 7 books, for a total of 2,502 pages and an average of 81 pages per day. I exceeded my page count from last month, but at this point, I would need to read 12 books a month to reach my goal and unless I get into some graphic novels (which I might), I’m not sure I’ll make that goal. But that’s ok! I read a few excellent books this month, but I’d have to say Chimera was my favorite.
