Somehow we're halfway through the year already. I feel like a broken record on these wrap-up posts, because in every one, I say that I can't believe how fast the year is going. But it's still true!

Favorite book this quarter: Tie between A Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman and The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. I had a surprising number of 5-star reads this quarter. It's hard to narrow it down!

The lure of the library has been strong this quarter. Only 37% of the books I read are books I own, although I have been listening to a fair amount of audiobooks, which come from the library. So that makes the number look worse than it is. Overall for the year, sixty percent of the books I've read are books I own. Still okay, but I'd like the swing the percentages back the other way for the third quarter and read a lot more of my own books!
