*Successes: My overall totals are pretty amazing for July. I've got over 60% of the slots are filled. And I've made some great progress with the variety of types of books I've read. Very excited about my reading momentum this year so far. Hoping to keep it up throughout the rest of the year.

**Failures (Needs Improvement): My perpetual challenges are not going so well. I really need to focus on some of those books that I've been meaning to read for years. Working on it... I'm going to retool my reading plan for the coming months.
