#20BooksOfSummer Wrap-Up & It’s Monday! What Are You Reading
Last year, I tried for 10 Books of Summer and read 7. This year, I shot for 15 and read 12! The improvement was due mostly to sticking to the 20-ish books I’d selected. I’m not very good at sticking to lists and, boy, the last couple of weeks have been tough. I did end up deviating from the list with a weekend of short stories back in July and a nonfiction book the week before last. But all in all, a good summer! Many thanks to Cathy at 746 Books for hosting!
