This past January I read 19 books and purchased/received for review 76 books.
I had eye surgery on my right eye to remove a cataract and implant a new lens on Jan. 12. I have been reading a bit slower than normal and likely will in February too. I won't get my new prescription for glasses until Feb. 22 and then have to wait for the glasses to be made. Strangely enough, reading on the computer is easier than reading a print book.
A listing of all the books I read can be found on my 2011 Challenges spreadsheet. You can see my 2011 Challenges spreadsheet here.
Here is my January 2011 progress report for the challenges I joined this year. All of the books have already been reviewed on either Ms. Martin Teaches Media or Inside of a Dog unless the review date is listed in parentheses. Luckily, there is a lot of overlap in the challenges I chose this year.
