I have to say, I thought I would read more in June than I did, since I only worked half of the month. However, getting the house and blog ready for the girls, getting ahead on freelance writing, and, well, Audiobook Week, which was amazingly fun, but also very time consuming. Somehow I actually finished MORE books before I stopped working than after. In total this month I finished 20 books, the first book I finished this month brought me to 100 for the year. Of these 20, 14 were print or ebooks for a total of about 4500 pages. The other 6 were audiobooks, for a total of over 61 hours listened.

Thanks for hosting Audiobook Week. This is my first time and have enjoyed the whole experience. I’m impressed by all that you’ve done just in the month of June. Some lists! Have a nice July 4 week. We’re celebrating Canada Day today. 😉
I read half as many books as you – success!
I think this was the best audiobook week so far. Good work. Now relax for a few more days.
When’s your due date? Sounds like a lot of reviews to me. Best wishes with the girls. I’m getting in to audiobooks a bit
They should be here by the 9th.
I think 20 books is still a good number especially since you were also working on Audiobook Week. Happy reading!
Audio book week was a blast! Thank you! You have been so busy and your girls on the way!
Looks to me like you had a great month of reading and listening to books!
