My July reading update (a bit late!). I'm now at 33 books for the year, and we're in week 32, so I've pulled ahead. Now I just need to keep it up! Amy has several books I'm interested in (Dresden Files, here I come), and the library has a bunch of good stuff, so hopefully I can keep up the pace. I also just got a L. E. Modesitt Jr. book in yesterday's Kindle Daily Deal, so that might open up a big new series for me to devour. :)

Time for my June reading update! Even with a busy schedule, I was able to get through quite a few books this month - yay Kindle and extra yay for an awesome girlfriend who lends me excellent books! :)

On week 27 for the year, I've finished 22 new books and 10 re-reads; not quite on target for a new book every week, but close! I still have the last 3 Harry Potters to work on, and Amy has some other classics which I have not read (The Neverending Story, how have I not read this?), plus I'm going to be getting my library card(s) in Clear Lake this week. I'm really excited!
