So I started the year off doing a monthly update of books that I have read, sometimes sharing my views on a book or just making a list. I do this every year, and every year, I seem to stop posting before the year is up. No, I don’t stop reading, I stop posting. This year was no different. Except it is…I didn’t stop. I just paused.

So here’s the list from the end of April until August. I’m still on track for my 100 book goal, so that’s a plus.

So now my list is up to date. So far, I’ve read 59 books. I am on a British mystery kick. I’m not sure what that’s about, but I’m enjoying it. As I type, I am up to book 60, 61, and 62. I find that I read more than one book at a time. I’m not sure if that’s because most of my reading is done with audiobooks. I listen to more than one book at a time and switch constantly between them. I am also getting back into my graphic novels, as you will see in the next book update. Until then, Happy Reading.
