A month ago I entered the Summer Reading Blitz challenge hosted by Readings and Ruminations in which each participant sets out to read 30 books in 30 days (or a book a day for the month of June).My final reading total? ...23 books!!
Not too shabby. I was quite pleased with myself even though I didn't make my actual goal - I still feel pretty good about my progress. I attacked some books and series that I had been wanting to read for quite some time and that made for some wonderful reading. My favorites from the month have to be Silent on the Moor (cause Brisbane is delicious) and Daughter of the Forest (and because Marillier is magic with a pen) - both were wonderful books I can see myself sinking into time and again. This was a fun challenge that I seriously enjoyed participating in.

You did awesome! I think 23 is an incredibly good result in 30 days! I did similar and like you, I'm not disappointed but I feel good of having read as much :)
I love your list. I've read a few and have so many on my TBR list! :)
Thanks infiniteshelf! I'm impressed with your list too - french books no less.
That's an amazing feat. I know you're a fast reader, but still, you must have put Petey to bed at 5 oclock every day to get thru that many books!
