Picture Book Roundup (I'm not planning on reviewing the picture books we read, but I do plan on recording them monthly for my reading challenge)
- We were such slackers this month. Between sickness and baby activities, not many pictures books were read and no new ones. However, I went to the library two days ago and picked up abut 15 new pictures books to read this coming month. Hopefully we find some great ones!
1,000,000 Page Goal
Monthly Total: 1797 pages
Pages Remaining: 824,903 pages
Current Read - Tapestry of Fortunes by Elizabeth Berg

Books I Gave Up On (0)
Challenges Completed -- None yet, but my totals are very good.
Comments - Five books is really low for me. I think it might be my lowest book total since starting the blog. However, my page totals were decent so that's something. I read a giant brick of a book (The Strain) and finished my book club book days before our meeting. I'm looking forward to June's TBR pile as I think I've stacked it with some great books.
