Looking ahead:
I’m excited about my reading for August. I’m on the wait list for several books at my library. At the end of July, I began receiving e-mails informing me they are now available for me to pick up. They are all new releases, so that means I cannot renew them. I’ve challenged myself to read all them by their due dates and NOT return any unread. We’ll see how I do.


Good luck with your goal of not returning your books unread! I might even try that this month!
