Here’s a quick check-in for this challenge run by Cathy at 746 Books.
So far, I’ve read 4—which puts me a 2/3 of a book behind last year. I should read at least 1 more this coming week, but I’m a little intimidated about my picks for the rest of the summer. A little. Really 8 books a month doesn’t sound that bad for the rest of the summer, but I know full well that other things are going to pop up to distract me. It’s a self-inflicted problem—and one I fully predicted. But still…
I’m more intimidated by the fact that I haven’t written about any of these four yet—am hoping that I can get at least one posted about by Friday. (stranger things have happened, I hear).
Let’s take a quick look at my progress in June:
(subject to change, as is allowed, but I’m going to resist the impulse to tweak as much as I can).

I just read an article in the WSJ about a woman author (Sarah J. Maas) who sold more copies of her latest book in 2023 than Steven King, James Patterson, and John Grisham combined of their latest. I had never heard of her. So I must not be judgmental about my lack of recognition of ANY of your summer reads. And maybe I’d better check out Ms. Maas.
