Read My Own Books Month – Wrap-Up!

Where did August go? We’re already six days into September and I haven’t written a wrap-up post for Read My Own Books Month (hosted by Michelle at That’s What She Read – thanks again for hosting!). I really loved this challenge — I read nine books this month, and eight of them were off my To Be Read shelf. I’m going to go ahead and call it a success!

Here is what I tackled this month:

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by JK Rowling (review)
Out of the Silent Planet by CS Lewis (review)
March by Geraldine Brooks (review)
Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller (review)
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Isiguro (review)
Life, the Universe, and Everything by Douglas Adams (review)
A Game of Thrones by George RR Marting (review)
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner (review)
Empire by Orson Scott Card (review to come)

Anyone else who participated — how did you fare? Is your TBR shelf looking a little lighter these days?

  1. Congratulations on a wonderful reading month, Cori! It is wonderful that you were able to cross off so many books from your ‘TBR’ list! I think ‘Game of Thrones’ is the crowning jewel in that list, because it is a chunkster – if I take a book of that size, it takes me a few weeks or a month to finish :)

    • Thanks Vishy! I also read 300 pages of The Stand, but that thing is a whopping 1000+ pages…it’ll be a while before I finish it. :)

      • Wow! That is really awesome! I read part of ‘The Stand’ many years back, but gave up after I finished half of it. Sometime back I got a new edition of ‘The Stand’ in which Stephen King has added 200 pages more! Is that the edition you are reading? Happy Reading!

      • I’m reading the extra-long new version. So big!

  2. Congratulations! That is an impressive list. I am so glad you were so successful. Thanks for participating!
