This challenge is being hosted by book-a-rama.
This post is a challenge wrap-up for the month of July. Overall I think I did very well. I sorta skipped reading a lot of the review books that I should have read and instead from my own stacks (bought books) that helped me. So next month I might not do as well since I want to get most of my review books read, I'm a bit behind. Also, I know I still have a couple months to complete the non-fiction challenge, but not feeling it. I don't think I'll be completing that one. I guess it depends on if any of the books catch my interest or not. I really do want to read them, but each time I go to pick one up..I just don't want to. I have several that I'm close to finishing and some that I'm not very close but hoping I can focus on in the next couple of months.
Now…for the facts!
