May 2024 Sources: 06/02/24

Previous month's book sources

Sun Gallery, painting, and the run up to my youngest's high school graduation are all keeping me busy. I'm reading at night and via audio only.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In May I read 19 TBR books, up from the previous month's 17 TBR. One book was published in May. Three books were for research. None were from the library. My ROOB score for May was -4.26, down from the previous month's -4.14. It was my best May.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -4.0 and was too high. For June, I'm going with -4.5.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for May improved from -2.83 to -2.93.
