August 2022 Summary: 09/01/22

Reading report

August meant a week in Canada, our first in six years. When I travel I don't read much and this year, I decided to avoid posting on my blog. We masked everywhere and managed to avoid getting sick. Then the first week of school, we all ended up with the flu!

I have a back log of about forty books so I might post more frequently, meaning days when I haven't finished a book.

I read fewer books in August, 24, down from 29 in the previous month. Of my read books, sixteen were diverse. I reviewed 21 books, down from 23 in July. On the reviews front, fifteen qualified. Six read and five reviewed books were queer.

I have forty-four books left to review of the 212 books I've read this year.
