August 2020 Summary

Previous month

August 2020 Sources: 09/02/20

August was the fifth full month of shelter in place for COVID-19 precautions. Time at home was still caring for puppy, painting, playing video games, chores, reading, and now reading through the news. Near the end of the month our oldest moved to Los Angeles to start college. She seems to be settling into her new life.

In August I read 16 TBR books, down from July's 19 TBR. But I read no books published in August. Like July, eight books were for research. None were from the library. The lack of new books resulted in my best ROOB score ever, dropping from -4.03 to -4.33. That score out does all previous scores.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

The ROOB trendline continues downwards. I am continuing to focus on reading through my 2018 and 2019 purchases. Hopefully that will mean another low month.

My average for August improved from -2.68 to -2.83.
