I'm going to try very hard not to start reading a sixth and to at least finish one of the five this weekend.

You have no idea how badly I wanted to read all the books I got this week but alas I couldn't. It's Netgalley month and I am taking it very seriously. I am on my 7th Netgalley book so far and I hope to read double that by the end of July. Although I got slightly distracted by Harry Potter this week - I managed to watch all seven movies in preparation for tomorrow. Yes that's right at 18:15 I will be watching the final movie! I am currently alternating between absolute excitement at finally getting to see it and true sadness that it will all be over. Either way I am going to cry buckets.
