What I Read: July

With ALA halfway through July and Summer Reading going like crazy at work, I felt like I didn't really have time to read that much-maybe because my TBR pile got huge after ALA!

But I managed to read 14 books this month, so I guess that's not too bad. Anyone have any tips on how to read faster? I need them! And yes, reviews will come-I need to catch up!

    I think that 13 is a pretty good month of reading. I sadly only read 6 books in July and I put that down to having my son home now and not much is getting red with taking him to swimming lessons, play dates and library activities. I think I need to find a secret to read faster. If I find out I will let you know.

    You're a reading rock star! I'm lucky to get six books read over a month. Some times if I'm lucky I'll get a few quick reads and that number will increase....but wow 14 is great! If you have the opportunity to share the advise on speed reading I'd love to hear about it.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
