July in a nutshell: 24 books, 6757 pages (roughly 1400 more than June). There were a couple of stinkers here, but mostly really good books, 3.6 average — 3 of them were 5-star!
I’m a bit frustrated with how behind I’m getting, 3-4 book posts a week just isn’t enough. I may have to grab a couple of 800 page books to slow down the pace so I can catch up 🙂
Still, all things considered, it was a good month around here between reading some great stuff, having a lot of fun with #IndieCrimeCrawl, and some great interaction with readers both here and elsewhere on teh IntraWebz.
Anway, here’s what happened here in July.

How was your month?

Is this the first month you’ve done this type of format for this post? I really like how everything is laid out and I don’t remember it being this way before. However, my memory…..
I had to laugh at your “I need to read a couple of 800 page books so I can catch up” because while I’m not dealing with that issue at the moment, I have in the past and can completely sympathize 😀

The only thing different this month is that I made the section headers a nice looking graphic instead of text. In my mind, it improved the look of the post more than you’d think for a subtle change. Your reaction makes me think I might have been right. 🙂
Thanks!
(another good way to catch up is to be home sick from work and using the time to write, I’ve knocked off 5.5 posts!)

Ok, wordpress weirdness confirmed. I’ve got zero notification of this comment. Sigh.
Well, if that was the only change, it certainly DID work for me 😀

I liked it, you liked it, and no one’s complained. I think we have a winner! 🙂
