June in Review

It's June!
June: I had my first trial (hung jury). I moved apartments (pain in the behind). I read a few books (five). I thought about books I want  to read in the next couple years (and made a list). I half-wrote several blog posts that I need to finish (I will!).

5 books total
3 fiction                60%
2 nonfiction          40%
4 female authors  80%
0 translated           0% (boo)

Based on my rate of reading this year, it's not looking like I'm going to meet my goal of 100 books.  I guess there's always the chance I read 21 books in one month like I did last December, but work is keeping me so busy that I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I have read some really good books this year, including three in June that were really, really good. I rated both Ceremony and The Hanging of Angelique five stars, and Anthony Bourdain's latest book, Medium Raw, a surprising 4 stars. I definitely recommend all of those. Hey, it's quality, not quantity, that counts, right?

How's your year in books so far?

Not bad! Especially with all you had going on. I keep forgetting to pick up Medium Raw! What is wrong with me?!!!

Medium Raw is really good! Much better than Kitchen Confidential, which I still did enjoy.
