June TBR Pile Update

I feel confident this month. I think I really pounded some books. I know I made a nominal dent because I got ahead in my reading challenge on Goodreads. I love counters. Now let's see how I really did. You know the drill. The pile at the beginning of the year -

38. ONE HUNDRED CANDLES by Mara Purnhagen
39. MY FAVORITE BAND DOES NOT EXIST by Robert T. Jeschonek

In May my numbers jumped from 255 to 286 thanks in large part to BEA. Gotta love it. I know I knocked a bunch off of NetGalley just due to process of elimination. I read through the blurbs of all the books I had and weeded out the ones I was no longer interested in. I think I chopped off about a dozen. That still left me with a sizable list but it's not all that daunting anymore. A little weight can mean a lot. This month, I'm down to 279. Not big but not bad, especially compared to prior months when I'd only go down a book or two. I can pat myself on the back for that one.
