Comments - Wow! July kicked some reading butt! I didn't think I would get even 2000 pages read with the boys here, but we did it. The couple days at Great America reading while they went on rides probably helped. So too did reading hour (Arthur's short afternoon nap). And I almost completed my entire TBR pile for the month. This past month was awesome, now it's time to look ahead to August (and Bout of Books!!!).
