Month in Review - June 2010

 

Boy, we are really halfway through the year, isn't it? Soon, 2010 will be history. When I thought of this, I suddenly remembered that it has been six months since I started book blogging! I am shamelessly as bad now about time management as I was when I started, so far as blogging and catching up with the blogosphere is concerned. I still feed my reader more blogs, as I come across a new interesting one. I'm shaking things a bit in this post. I had a slow first half of June, but caught up with reading in the second half. So here's what my reading this month looked like:

In spite of a slow first half in June, I did read quite a lot more during the second half. It's nice to end a month joyfully! I also got a nook this month and had an awesome weekend getaway to DC! I'm still doing 12 challenges (one perpetual, and one my own summer challenge), and I am finally coming to terms with the possibility that I will not complete all of them by the end of the year.
