Irresponsible Reader

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.
