Comments - A decent showing this month. I finished over half of the books on my list and knocked out a ton of reading challenge spots. I even completed my first reading challenge for the year. Woohoo! Overall, I'm only at about 35% complete. Oh well! Really I just want to make sure that I keep reading...
