Comments - Holy cow June was a great reading month! I knocked out 4713 pages, 17 books, and eight 5 star reads. I can't expect July to be as good for reading, but I will definitely keep reading. I even have a great stack from the library just waiting for me to dive in. Plus two books I'm reading in tandem with J so we can watch the movies (Childhood's End and High Rise) and the final book in the Pink Carnation series!
