\nWhew! June just raced by, and we’re done with WordCount Blogathon<\/a> for another year.<\/p>\n

We had guest bloggers (hi, Alison<\/a>!) and theme days for 5 favorites<\/a> and haiku<\/a> and word cloud<\/a>\u00a0 (I skipped the video day; it just wasn’t working out).<\/p>\n

I found lots of interesting blogs to follow and tried to be supportive for those whose subjects aren’t on my current interest radar.<\/p>\n

And I can’t wait to do it again next year! If you’re a blogger or want to start blogging, mark your calendar for the May sign-up for next year’s Blogathon. The community of support is great, and we keep sustaining one another through the next 11 months of blogging (although not posting every single day, thank goodness!).<\/p>\n

Since I was concentrating on the many NetGalley electronic-format ARCs with upcoming expiration dates during Blogathon, I only recommended 3 books with publication dates of 2012 or earlier for the ongoing TBR2012<\/a> Challenge this month:<\/p>\n

Ghost Knight<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0 by Cornelia Funke<\/p>\n

Spy School<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0 by Stuart Gibbs<\/p>\n

Stealing Kevin’s Heart<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0 by M. Scott Carter<\/p>\n

So with my 46 TBR2012 titles read during the first five months<\/a> of the year, that brings my total to 49, just under 2 “older” books a week recommended on BooksYALove… not too bad.<\/p>\n

How’s your TBR shelf looking these days?
