Joy (audioaddict1234) Stayed up way too late listening to Terri Blackstock's Distortion. Now I'm thinking I need to wait a few days before starting the last book or I'm gonna be a mess!

Staci, I'm impressed! I typically get sidetracked with series because other really intriguing books come out that I just HAVE to read now. Lol. Great job!

message 79: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (lizr8900) | 243 comments I did not get near as much as I wanted read but I did finish Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1) by Michael Crichton and The Lost World by Michael Crichton . I'm 3/4 of the way through The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time, #1) by Robert Jordan which I'll finish this weekend. So absolutely no CF reads this month =o but I did get some bigger sci-fi and fantasy out of the TBR pile.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 6246 comments Mod
Nice job, Elizabeth. Did you enjoy your trek through Jurassic Park?


message 81: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (lizr8900) | 243 comments I did! Jurassic was as good as I remembered and I thought The Lost World was pretty close to being as good. It was fun seeing a couple things they actually used for Jurassic World.

Thanks Andrea!! I hope September will be a good reading month too, though I know I'll get pretty busy with school and probably won't have much time. :P We'll see!

My children love books but neither can read yet. Really helps me to read more and more each month.

Really? That's neat! Now I'll have to track down a copy of The Lost World. :) So glad you enjoyed them.

Anne, that is the conundrum, isn't it? Maybe you can reserve 30 minutes at night for reading or something. Best wishes for squeezing in some fun books!

Courtney, that's wonderful that you're fostering a love of reading in your children while they're so young. So proud of you!

Thank you, sometimes it can be tough but then I remember what my parents/grandparents did for me; it makes it all worth it.
