Bookworm Report, June 2006

I must confess, for a while I thought Word Nerd was going to read more books than me this month. But I'm sure I beat her on the page count. That counts for something, right? One of my email loops clued me into a great, new to me author that appears twice, but accounts for almost 1,600 of my pages. Diana Gabaldon has a wonderful series set in the Highlands of Scotland. But more on that later.

The one that was the most frequently read was Allison Brennan. I kept seeing her name everywhere. It seemed like every time I turned around I was running across an interview, a blog post about her or written by her. It's no wonder when I realized that she released three fantastic thrillers in an extremely short period of time. More on those later too.

For the year, I've read 62 books, or 21,394 pages, which averages to 10 books a month, or 3,566 pages per month, and an average book length of 345 pages.

I'm still working on some non-fiction titles, along with continuing two of the series I started this year. In all, my reading has been more varied than in the past. And I know that I'm not the only one.
