This month's stats were OK. Nothing great. Lot of white people. Lots of US authors. Mostly guys. However I did read some books that were surprisingly good. Well surprising to me. Everyone else had already confirmed the fun of The Night Circus and The Lover's Dictionary so I'm not exactly breaking new ground there. On that note, you should expect my review of The Casual Vacancy long after the rest of the internet has already read it and weighed in.
Anyway, the stats!

This month it's the Grapes of Wrath readalong, and I'm hoping this book is better than I remember because 15 year old me is NOT into this. 28 year old me is afraid of crying on public transportation while reading this, so trepidation all around!
