I haven’t done a lot of comparisons between 1st and 2nd quarter but what little I have noticed is that 2nd quarter stats were lower than 1st quarter, including total number of books read and page count. I ddi notice that I read more fiction than anything else and my reading of children/YA novels was down as well. I am only attempting 1 more challenge than previous, and finished 3 more than prior as well.
