Books Won (0)

Books I Gave Up On (0)

Challenges Completed - None yet.  I failed the T4MC Part 11, but only by 1 book.  Hopefully I do better for Part 12.

Comments - A decent reading month.  I only read 11 books, but I read almost 4000 pages.  I'd say success!  The Bout of Books 7.0 readathon really helped me focus on my reading.  While I didn't do any of the challenges or participate in the Twitter chats, I had a lot of fun reading books and reading others' blog posts.  Can't wait for 8.0!
