July Book Blowout Challenge
Jun
'08
I’m joining the July Book Blowout challenge because it only lasts for a month and I’m going to be reading a lot in July anyway. Why not feel some accomplishment among a group of people? The point of this challenge is to read as many books as you can in July. Reviews not required, which is a big plus, as I don’t generally review every book I read. Sometimes I get into what I call “mass market reads,” books in genres I don’t normally enjoy as much as others (paranormal romance, for example - I love select few, but I’m not about to go diving through the entire section of the store), and it takes me perhaps a day or two to get through those books. For some reason, I don’t find them particularly interesting enough to write up reviews.
In any case, I have a lot of those on my TBR pile so why not kick them out in July, rather than continuing to hold them off?
So, let’s see. July hasn’t generally been a good month for reading it seems. In 2005 and 2007, I only read 4 books; in 2006, there were just the 3. This year I am reading a lot more anyway, but as July seems to be a particularly busy month for me, I’m going to set my goal to read at least 8 books. I know that doesn’t seem like a lot, especially to all you readers out there who generally get into 10 or 15 books per month, but I’m being realistic based on all the projects I have planned for next month! 
Anyway, it’s more than I’ve read any other month this year so far.
