Only nine books this month (one being a reread) - got held up by reading a couple of books with 400+ pages. To reach my goal of 209 books this year, I'll have to average 17.417 per month, so I'm currently (50) over a month behind track (69). No fear....

The one Newbery Medal winner bring my total thus far up to 76 of 88, and the two Carnegie Medal winners bring me up to 16 of 69.
