July 2016 Monthly Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews
Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update
I started July with 201 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …202! Not too shabby… not too shabby at all! I haven’t caught up with reviews like I wanted to, but I’m chiselling away at it (even as I’m reading and adding more to the pile, oh well.)
…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:
Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile
|
Audiobooks |
 |
 |
 |
|
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) |
 |
 |
 |
Changes to the TBR pile
|
Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) |
 |
 |
|
Added and then read (um… huzzah?) |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!) | |
  – Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehsi Coates |
 – We Were Liars by E. Lockhart |
 – Rat Queens, Vol. 3: Demons by Kurtis J. Wiebe |
|
| Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!) | |
 – Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman |
 – American Gods by Neil Gaiman |
| Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!) | |
 – Siege & Storm by Leigh Bardugo |
 – Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison by Piper Kerman |
| * Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest. | |

Oh, I have heard good things about How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend. I keep meaning to read it. I look forward to your review!
After our last move, I PROMISED myself (and all my future movers) that I was going to read more of the books I owned. THEN we found this amazing book fair near us and I bought an embarrassing amount of books :/. Maybe next year??? I’m impressed with your success! :)
