I’m doing quite well with my 20 Books of Summer 2017 list this year although I had meant to do a bit of a half-way roundup before now. I have veered slightly from the list for various reasons, but I’m still hopeful of finding my copy of Sir Walter Scott’s Redgauntlet before September. I did a fatal tidy up before some visitors arrived and now that book is lost in the stacks which is very annoying as before that I knew exactly where it was – on the floor!

Nice! I only signed up for 15 books and I have three left to read in August. I think I’ll actually make it, even with the grandkids here!
Peggy,
I’m glad you’ve been able to get so much reading done, especially as you recently bought loads of books!
You’re doing much better with this than I am! I’m only halfway through my list and keep getting distracted by other books.
Helen,
I think you are allowed to amend your list – I have anyway, so anything I’ve read since June 1st is on my list!
