I finished 18 books in August, which I think is fantastic. We’ll see what happens in September when I go back to work… My 18 books were comprised of nearly 6,000 pages. This puts me at 129 books for the year, which means I’m only 21 books away from my goal of 150! I think this is a definite probability, I need to read just over 5 books a month for the rest of the year tomake it!
After my list of what I read this month, you’ll find a list of the other reviews I posted this month:

Wow, Daniel hasn’t slowed you down all that much! He must be one of those good babies that sleeps a lot. =)

He sleeps a pretty good amount, and he eats a lot, and I read while I’m feeding him. I’ve gotten good at grabbing a reading minute when it is offered.
I can’t wait to read the Audrey Nieffenegger! Glad you are still finding time to read.

You are amazing! I couldn’t even manage to take a shower every day with my two…they were very needy, God love ‘em. I am anxiously awaiting the Niffenburger book. Nothing but good going around on that one!
