Reading Goal Progress:

This year I have read 44 books so far! This past month was pretty productive for me as far as reading went. My current 2017 goal is 50 books, which means I am now 11 books ahead of schedule and 88% of my way to my goal, holy cow! I might bump it up again, but I might just be content with leaving it as is and seeing how far I get! Some of my upcoming reads are pretty long, so they’ll take a bit longer to read.

Notable Posts by Others:

• So… You Want to Start Reading Comics and Graphic Novels? by Lauren @ Wonderless Reviews (oldie but a goodie)

Blog Stats:

• I currently have 70 followers (what?!), which is up from 53 last month. I’ll have to decide what to do to celebrate when I hit 100! Any suggestions?
• In August I had 154 visitors, which is 9 more than July.
• I had 226 views in August, which is 44 less than July.
