Our 2020 Reading Journey – Month 8
As I mentioned in my post from earlier this year, I decided that this year I would record all the books my 5 year old and I read together. I’ve been snapping a quick picture of all the books from each day, and collecting them in an album over on my blog’s Facebook page. I’m a bit late with the update for June, but here’s our pile of books from our eight month:
In August we read a total of 62 different books, which is just four books short of our record breaking total from last month. Well, okay, maybe not record breaking, but we did read a LOT of books last month.
