August Wrap Up and more

I'm a little behind in my wrap ups... AppleBlossom was due on August 15th, but she decided to arrive early on July 31st. Spending time with her has most definitely affected my reviews and reading time, but that's ok. She is worth every book-free moment. *grin* In other exciting news, Creative Madness was nominated four times for a BBAW Award.

In July, I made some changes to the formatting of my blog and added some navigation tags. Some such as listing book reviews by genre. Hopefully this will make my blog more user friendly for finding interesting previous reviews.

My June/ mid Annual 2009 Wrap Up

19,122 pages for 2009

64 books for 2009
August count 8

So far my best month was July at 14, with a second of January at 10. My worst month April with 3 books read. These numbers do not include long-term reading books, just completion.

I have several of the books you've reviewed on my bedside table to read. Some of those include the Fountain Creek Chronicles, The Blue Enchantress (it's on my netgalley), the Lassoed in Texas series, Stand-In Groom, Menu for Romance (on netgalley), Montana Rose. Wow...where do I start!?!?!?!?!

Read Lassoed in Texas before Montana Rose, so that you can grow with Mary's writing (yes I know you already read Christmas Cowboy). Read Kaye Dacus when you're in the mood for contemporary fun loving romance. Fountain Creek Chronicles when you in the mood to continue the westerns from Mary. And read Marylu anytime.
