Comments - Holy crap! I did not expect that high of book and page counts for August.  I was expecting another slow month.  But refocusing my time on reading instead of tv watching and internet surfing really paid off.  Also, the Bout of Books Readathon really helped!  I cleared 2000 page that week alone. I have high hopes for September as my last free time before the baby makes its appearance. I've stacked my TBR pile with some exciting looking reads to keep my momentum going.  Plus, I'm joining the Tackle Your TBR Pile Readathon. Look for the starting post soon...
