Book Count August!
Okay, another book...
Okay, another book count; you know the rules!
Just to let you guys know, I might not be able to get on as much in August, but I'll try to post my book count soon!
I finished Treasure Island today! Oh, and I'm going to count up the books from the last count soon!

Can you explain to me how this works, please?

Yay, you're back, Elizabeth M.!! We missed you! Oh, and I haven't been doing the last few book counts, since I've been busy, but I'll try to keep up with this one!
Jess-A book count is where you read as many books as you can in one month. After you finish a book, post its name (this is pretty much manditory, the rest is optional), how many pages there are in it, when you started and finished the book, and any other info you want to put. At the end of the month, you count up how many books you have read. Then next month, you try to beat the total of the previous month!
TOP TOP TOP please!!!

Does re-reading count?

So far, I've read Dandelion Wine. Can't wait to go to the public library and haul home the 8+ books I've been wanting! :):):):)

Yes, you can re-read books. I probably won't have very many books this month since I'm planning on trying to read Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys, which are all long books. Can I count Little Women as this month even though I'm already halfway through it?
(August 2, 2011 - 5:32 pm)
Yes, sure. I've done that with a few books, too. You just can't count it if you only have a few pages or something left.
