Previous month's book sources

The theater practice days and other preparation for Kay's trip to Scotland kept me busy.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In July I read 24 TBR books, up from the previous month's 19 TBR. One book was published in July. Seven books were for research, and one was a review copy. None were from the library. My ROOB score for July was -3.88, up from the previous month's -4.26. It was an average July.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

I predicted a -4.3 and was too low. For August, I'm going with -4.0.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for July improved from -3.19 to -3.24.
