Well we’ve just past the middle of June, so it’s time to check how I’m doing on my Reading Challenges.So far this month I have finished three books. I was only planning on reading one of them this month!
| June 2015 Reads | |||
| 28 | Dark Intelligence – Neal Asher | Science Fiction | Library |
| 27 | The Stranger – Harlan Coben | Cloak & Dagger | Library |
| 26 | The Martian – Andy Weir | Science Fiction | Ebook |
The books that I was reading at the end of May and planning to finish in June are listed on the table below. As you can see only Dark Intelligence is the only one that I was reading!! I found Harlan Coben’s latest The Stranger at the library when I was picking up a book for my daughter and couldn’t pass it up, I figured correctly that it would be a fast read!. The Martian is an ebook that I had requested from the library a long time ago, that became unexpectedly available!! So after finishing the above books, I have to get back into the other four books that I am still reading and see if I can finish them before the end of the month!! I will be posting my reviews of Dark Intelligence and The Stranger shortly! They were both great reads!
| Currently Reading at the End of May | Challenge | From |
| Dark Intelligence – Neal Asher | Science Fiction | Library |
| Wages of Rebellion –Chris Hedges | Nonfiction | Library |
| How to Read the Solar System | Nonfiction | Library |

The table below shows where I stand on my reading challenges. Ideally, at the end of this month I would be above 50% on all my challenges and I’m pretty close to that. Right now I am above 50% on two of the challenges and the overall total of books I planned to read! Considering that I am at 29 books at the middle of June and only read 34 all of 2014, I guess I’m not doing too badly!! I am really enjoying the Science Fiction Challenge and will be reading more books in that genre as 2015 continues!! Neal Asher and James C Corey here I come!! Oh my, I just bought Prador Moon the first of the Neal Asher Polity Books!! That does not bode well for completion of maybe one of the books I am currently reading!! Oh well! Too many books, too little time!!
