Second Quarter Favs with Renee from @itsbooktalk

So, yeah, overall, how was your second quarter?

Hello.

Hello to you.

I've already talked to you, but hello to your listeners.

Thanks for having me back.

Actually, I'm glad that you asked me to do that because I would have told you that I thought my second quarter was worse, but turns out it was better.

Oh, awesome.

I don't know.

I think it's because I had a bit more memorable book.

Some of the books that are staying with me right now... are probably top 10 books that were January, February reads.

So I think that's why I feel like that.

But overall, so quarter-wise, this quarter was better.

I read 19 books versus 18 books in the

first quarter.

My reading is a little slower on quantity because I'm doing the book coaching, which I'm coming into my final part of that.

And so my reading will pick up for the next as soon as I get this last part done, my reading will pick back up.

But I'm being extra picky with what I'm reading.

So my quality is super high.

So of those 18 books, this quarter, 11 were four stars and above.

Wow.

I'm only staying with books that I'm like, yeah, I pretty much like this.

And Oh, I take that back.

Wait, 12, 12 of the books were four stars and above.

And seven of those were five stars.

So I'm not sticking with books that I am not feeling for the most part.
