[Hampshire Nanny]

With two more months to go, I'm seven books ahead of schedule to meet my goal of 168 books. I am also 6700 pages ahead of schedule to read 50,000 pages. I am not, however, close to making my goal of reading one Newbery Award book each month. I've only completed two Newbery's this year -- guess I ought to schedule more of those.

I've had a couple of fantastic months of reading and some not so good. Getting to my goals for the year just demand that I read consistently and don't fall into a slump.

1. Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich
2. Apprentice in Death by J. D. Robb
