August was a wash for the TBR, but I am doing well on my goal of 100 books - I'm at 77 now. My budget goal continues to be blown, but until Audible has their annual destroy-the-budget sale around Thanksgiving, I think I'll do well. Audiobookstand.com is now closed so I won't have any more $4 audio CDs tempting me.

I'm trying better to work in magazines into my regular reading schedule again. My goal was 15 this year, but so far 3. Granted, Asimov's magazine is now a double issue every time, but I still should be further ahead.

I have 14 of 45 books/audiobooks from 2010/2011 done. Some of the audiobooks are pretty long, like Pandora's Star (36 hours), so unlikely I will get the remaining 31 done before the end of the year. I only have 3 left from 2010, so at least I should get that year finished off.

So, I will just continue on and hopefully get a little more reading in this month than last.
