So, I finished 12 books in August, which seems to pretty much be my new normal. This month it was almost half and half, 5.33 audiobooks and 6.66 print or ebooks (I started Godiva in audio, and then switched to print partway through. This comes down to a little over 60 hours of audio and not quite 2500 pages of print. The audiobooks are flying by these days, because I started doing the Couch to 5K running program (I’ll be running an actual 5k at the end of September) and I listen while I run.
One thing I have been not so good at lately is getting stuff actually posted on the blog. I have about a million posts in draft, and never any time to write them. I’m hoping I can get in a slightly more regular schedule again after Daniel goes back to preschool.

You just put Ocean at the End of the Lane back on my radar.
I have Freud’s Mistress for review - it’ll be coming up soon. I’ll be interested in your thoughts!
I’ve been reading a lot but not posting much all summer, either, although I don’t have as good a reason as you for it!
I’m waiting “impatiently” for the audiobook of Ocean’s at my library. I’ve seen nothing but rave reviews! And 12 books in a month - way to go
Getting back on a school schedule is helpful for my writing/blogging. Hopefully the preschool routine will do the same for you. I completely agree with your pick of the month. Neil Gaiman did it again.
great list! Planning to read the new Gaiman
