June 2008 Reads

[Wendy]

June was a terrific month for me. I read 11 books (with an average rating of 3.9/5 ) and one individual short story. I read 3548 pages (average of 323 pages per book). My favorite read was The Wednesday Sisters; my least favorite was Comfort Food. All were new to me authors except for Khaled Hosseini. I participated in two Read-A-Thons this month which really helped boost my numbers.
