Monthly Wrap up: August 2019

August is done. Kids are either just started school or are about to after Labor day. This month was a bit better in reading for me. Though I was getting ready for a wedding that will be tomorrow. I am happy with that.

I am watching my NFL team. I did watch each preseason game. With football season starting up soon for the NFL. My weekends or evening when my Pittsburgh Steelers are playing, I will be watching them. I am glad to see that they went 3-1 for the pre-season. Though I know it mostly for new players and see who will make the 53 man roster for 2019. Will the regular season starting in less then a week. I hope all football fans the best of luck with their teams.

I have am currently in a middle of a book. Getting ready for the football season and for the trip down to where the wedding going to be. I am also working on my spreadsheet that is called Reading Log. I will share it with my followers and other bloggers and book bloggers once I it been checked over.

Still working on backlog of reviews I got the blog post ready. Will just need to write the reviews for them. They are for book read during 2009 through 2011 or before i started my blog. I did post some but none this month. I hope to create a blog post and share the google spreadsheet that I created and will help some bloggers be able to keep track of some their stats and books read over the years in one spreadsheet. This is work in progress at the moment. I have 2019 though 2014 Book Logs and stats up to date and entered. Still got to work adding the tabs for 2013 and 2012 for me that will added and then probably shared after that. More on the spreadsheet when I create the blog post about it.
