Other Fun Facts:

Wow I did really poorly this month. I wasn't reading great up till the readathon and then after that I barely read at all. I didn't start reading a book after the readathon until the last few days of April and even then had trouble getting into anything. I'm getting a little better now that I'm reading some library books, and taking a break from review books for a week or two. I think I needed that break.
