The Good: Well, I read a fair amount despite a very busy month of professional development. Read a good amount with my ears.

The Bad: I failed to post a Taking Stock for June. Not reviewing nearly enough. I've got to seek out more debuts. I know there are a few on the tbr, but review commitments keep pushing them down.
