Here’s what I planned to read in July:

• Glennon Doyle’s Untamed
• Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon, book 1
• Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility
• Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo: The Epic Tale of Harlem’s Legendary Theater

Here’s what I actually read…

• Ted Fox’s Showtime at the Apollo: The Epic Tale of Harlem’s Legendary Theater

Yup, just one and only barely at that... I didn't not read anything else. I just didn't finish the others.

I started Tranquility twice and hated it so I quit. I replaced it with Blake Crouch's Upgrade, which I’m about halfway through. I read the first two parts of Untamed, which was technically all we were supposed to read this month (part 3 will be read for the book club in August). And I'm 18% of the way through Carbon.

We traveled a lot in July and all the driving and activities involved didn't leave me a lot of time for reading. Even Katie read next to nothing and she typically gets through 15-20 books a month. So I prioritized family time over books. #sorrynotsorry

For August, I will read/finish:

Glennon Doyle’s Untamed for the book club

Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon, book 1 

Blake Crouch's Upgrade

I’m just going to focus on finishing these three for August. I mean, how can I commit to starting anything new when I have so much unfinished?
