Bookworm Report, July 2005

My youngest turned two this month and the oldest is asking for two babies for Christmas - one boy and one girl. Since my husband agrees with him, they talk about it and pick out names even. Evidently his has decided that the youngest is okay, now that he is older. Just wait until they have to share a car. Then they'll regret it. For the month of July, I read 4,216 pages or 11 books. In 2001, I read 2,795 pages/7 books; 2002, 2,439 pages/6 books; 2003, 1,222 pages/3 books; 2004, 2,006 pages/5 books.
