Kind of a slow month. But I am reading, uh... seven books right now, according to Goodreads. So they're all going a bit slower.

I'm also implementing a new rule for myself: I can only check out from the library the same as many books as or fewer books than I'm returning that day. So far so good--last library trip, I returned two books and only checked out one. Of course, I didn't actually go into the library... my mom went, returned, and picked up a hold for me while I was away housesitting...

Oh, I meant I didn't read that many, not that I didn't like them. And now that I think of it, The Name of the Wind is like eight hundred pages.

I wouldn't recommend against three-star books, I just wouldn't volunteer them as much as four-stars.

Hopefully I can get in and out without walking past the main desk!

I know. You sounded a bit sad about that, so I was hoping your reading this month would leave you happier there. (Of course if you wind up reading less books, but all books you really, really love that would be more awesome.)

Ah, sorry. I'm not trying to say that you'd recommend against them. It's just that your words implied to me that you wouldn't recommend them gladly. I don't think that's a reaction I've seen much toward three star reviews is all. ^-^

Good luck! ^-^
