Previous month's book sources

July was dry and mostly cool. Summer school took the entire month.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In July I read 21 TBR books, up seven from the previous month. No books were published in July. One book was for research and there were no review copies. None were from the library. My ROOB score for July is -4.91, down from -3.86. It is my best month ever in fourteen years of tracking.

The current year's data is represented by a triangle on the graph below.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -3.75 for July. My actual score was a lower because I was slower than expected in reading my new books. For August, I'm predicting -4.5 as I have a lot of older books I'm interested in getting through.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for July improved, going from -3.06 to -3.19.
