My oldest child has been off at college for three weeks. My younger two have been back at school for three weeks also. Labor Day was this past Monday. Pools all over the area have closed for the season. My WNBA meetings have started back up again. All of this means that, despite the continued high temps here in the sunny South, summer is officially over. So now it's time to check in and see how I managed to do on my overly ambitious summer reading list. There is little rhyme or reason to what I managed to read and what I didn't (except to me) but based on the original list, here's my tally:

So where were all the places you went this summer and where are you going this week? :) I am heading to India this week in the 1830s and learning about the Thuggee cult.
ReplyDeleteYou read a ton of books! My summer reading was nonexistent since I have a new baby. :-)
