June 2010 Wrap-Up: Books and Reading

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started June with 271 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* … 269! Holy cow, y’all! Despite not reading as much as I would have liked this month, I still racked up negative numbers, without purging! All kinds of accomplishments this month, I guess. :)

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks - Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Read but not owned - Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay - Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris - Runaways, Vol. 1: Pride and Joy by Brian K. Vaughan - Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman - Eternals by Neil Gaiman - Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi - Y: The Last Man, Vol. 6: Girl on Girl by Brian K. Vaughan
Acquired and read - Lavinia by Ursula K. LeGuin
Re-reads - Juniper by Monica Furlong - Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris

Cleared from my TBR pile (huzzah!) - The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender - The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno by Ellen Bryson - Blood Feud by Alyxandra Harvey - Tongues of Serpents by Naomi Novik

Added to my TBR pile (shame!)
