My goal for the year was to read one paper book per month. I didn't quite make it--I only read 10 out of 12. Still, that's 10 more paper books than I read last year, so I'm going to call it a qualified success.
I also started reading more comics than I have in a long time since I tried e-comics. Turns out that what was keeping me away from comics for so long was trying to figure out what to do with them after I read them. Now they just sit quietly on my hard drive.
Meanwhile, participating in the Goodreads Summer Reading Challenge was so much fun that I went and joined a reading challenge group, then committed myself to a ridiculous number of reading challenges. Stay tuned for the round-up post.
