This wrap-up is for the week of August 1st through August 4th. So, it isn’t really a full week, I actually read quite a lot for these days, and I want to stay on track for next week. I am having some issues with the photos I took from my camera, so I wasn’t able to show you a stack of the books. I read 10 books which brings my yearly total to 244 books. These books total 2,064 pages.
