Then I bought this one in the Toronto airport on the way home, to cheer myself up during a rather unpleasant overnight trip. (Is it healthy to buy yourself books when you're feeling down? I don't see why not!)

Progress on challenges
The Visitor was my June book for the Read Your OWN Library! Challenge.
I failed to read my June Random Read, which was Ghostlight by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
I completed the following letters for the 2012 A-Z Book Challenge: F and O
I read 1 book for the Mount TBR Reading Challenge.
I read 0 books for the 2012 Anne Rice Challenge. You can still sign up!
Operation: TBR Reduction: I added 11 books to my to read list and only removed 3, so my pile increased by 8 this month! Yet another epic fail. Seriously, this challenge is really showing me that I have a problem! :(
There is nothing wrong with buying yourself a book to cheer yourself up! It's when you buy 10 to cheer yourself up (and yes, I've done it!). Here's to hoping this month is better! You can do it!!
