Challenges Completed

• Nonfiction Adventure -- Part of my larger Nonfiction Adventure Perpetual Reading Challenge, I've met my goal for 2015 and will probably add to my total throughout the second half of the year
• Read Your Freebies -- Woop! Another challenge done!

Comments - Wow! What a good month of reading. I went from thinking I would possibly read 7 books and ended up with 14 read. Even with the twins being here and tons of activities, I managed to make time for reading. I think the biggest help has been instituting reading hour during Arthur's nap time. Gives everyone some quiet time and me some reading time.
