I read only free books in June and it was kinda fun, so in July I'm reading only books that were under a dollar.

Identity Crisis by Debbi Mack; 3,755 locs, 212pp; An interesting if not totally enthralling legal mystery.
Abandoned:  Mighty Hammer Down by David J. Guyton.  20 or so spelling/grammatical errors in the first 3 pages--gave up at location 50.
Hide by Lisa Gardner;  7,225 locs, 384 pp; Great thriller, first in a series I'll definitely continue.
No Mercy by John Gilstrap;  6,139 locs, 400pp; Exciting and action packed.  Already purchased the sequel.
Wet Desert by Gary Hansen; 10,950 locs, 360pp;  Riveting story of environmental terrorism, has a similar feel to Boyd Morrison's Rogue Wave (nee The Palmyra Impact)
Body of Lies by David Ignatius;  5305 locs, 320pp;  Incredibly complex and well-paced thriller.  I'll definitely see the movie now.  My 100th Kindle book read
Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich;  8162 locs, 400pp;  A somewhat flawed but nonetheless enjoybable thriller.

Running Totals:  6 books, 41,536 locations, 2,076 pages

If I post here now maybe I'll remember to do this unlike last month when I meant to.

Books carried over:
A Wind From the South at 41% at the beginning of the month
Accelerando at 6% at the start of the month
Young Miles at 24% at the start of the month


Completed in July:
1. A Wind From the South by Diane Duane - completed July 6 with 4678 locations (392 pages)
2. Helen's Babies by John Habberton - began July 7th, completed July 7th, 1624 locations (128 pages)
3. Dragon Keeper (Free Edition) by Robin Hobb - began July 7th, completed July 8th, 7820 locations (496 pages)
4. Emergence by David Palmer
5. Pirates of the Narrow Seas - The Sallee Rovers by Dan McGirt,  8184 locations
6. An untitled unpublished book by Ronnell D. Porter, 1585 locations

Apparently I lost most of my reading time this month to hanging out with friends who are about to move to New Jersey, so after the beginning of the month I rarely read anything.

1. Soulless by Gail Carriger                                      5151 locations                              Smiley Smiley Smiley
         Vampires + Werewolves + Evil Scientists + Victorian Society = Fun
2. Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl      4863 locations              Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Anecdotal autobiography of a New York Times Food Critic - Wonderful
3. Left to Tell: Discovering God Amid the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagagiza   3751 locations
            True story of a survivor of the atrocities in Rwanda - disturbing in some places, a bit
           preachy in others, all in all a worthwhile and informative read                                     Smiley Smiley Smiley
4. The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey               6187 locations                             Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Good book for those who like fractured fairy tales, and I do
5. 33 AD by David McAfee                                        5296 locations                             Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Vampires in the time of Jesus: I liked this book, but wished that the ending was more definitive.
6. Sick Puppy by Carl Hiaasen                                   5701 locations                             Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Hilarious and a bit twisted - highly recommended
7. Swedish for Beginners by Susanne O'Leary               6673 locations                            Smiley Smiley
          Good idea for a story, but the characters were not believable for me.
8. The Demon Queen and the Locksmith by Spencer Baum      2502 locations                   Smiley Smiley
          Coming of age fantasy that gets much too confusing in the way it plays out
9. Waiting for Spring by R.J. Keller                                  8980 locations                       Smiley Smiley Smiley
          Good story, great characters; a bit drawn out in the telling

I'm new here, but I'm in Cheesy.

1.Secret Adversary - Agatha Christie (4,896 Locations)
A bit hard to read due to the style of English that was used. - B+
2.Blockade Billy - Stephen King (730 Locations)
Far too short, and easy to figure out, but a breeze to read and fun. - B
3.Kiss Her Goodbye - Allan Guthrie (5,805 Locations)
Couldn't sympathize or really care for any character. Quick read. - C
4.Besserwisser - Steve Anderson (3,663 Locations)
Good first time effort, but disjointed and lacking explanation or reasoning in spots. Love the beer references. - C
5.UR - Stephen King (1,751 Locations)
Better than Blockade Billy, more fleshed out. Fun story, but superficial. - B+
6.Quarry in the Middle - Max Allan Collins (2,605 Locations)
Great little entry in the HCC series. Main character is easy to root for, unlike any in Kiss Her Goodbye. - A
7.Murder on the Links - Agatha Christie (2,645 Locations)
Hard to read, again. d*mn English language :p. Good story, if a bit convoluted. - B
8.Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith (#1-#4) - John Jackson Miller (2,741 Locations)
Cool little story about a lost Sith tribe ending up on an alien planet - C
9.The Weight of Blood: The Half Orcs, Book 1 - David Dalglish (3,981 Locations)
Floored by how amazing this is. Can't wait for more. - A+
10.The Tales of Beedle the Bard - J.K. Rowling (107 Pages)
These fairy tales aren't nearly the quality of the proper series, but still retain some magic. Dumbledore notes a nice touch. - B-
11.The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee - Sarah Silverman (2,832 Locations)
Funny book, but feels very disjointed and random in spots, all over the place. Still, a light, interesting read about her struggles become successful. - B
12.Quidditch Through the Ages - J.K. Rowling (56 Pages)
Short as can be, boring and dry, but I have finally read all of Rowling's books, so that's something I guess. - C-
13.The Monkey's Raincoat - Robert Crais (237 Pages)
Took a while to get into the style of writing and the flow of the story. I've heard this first book is rough but later ones are much better. I can see the potential. - B-

Total Books: 13
Total Locations: 31,648

This is not necessarily the order I've read the books in, but they're what I've read since the first. Okay, it looks like I've been on a cozy kick this month, and only Death Waxed Over has been a re-read, so far.
(edited to add 7/26) I re-read 22 and 23 to refresh my memory before reading 24.
(edited to add 8/1) After reading the first soap-making title, I decided to re-read Hot Money for its family dynamics and then went on to read Come Fall as a change of pace. I discovered Come Fall on John Scalzi's blog, Whatever, as a "Big Idea" entry. I finished the second soap-making book and read the children's book, Searching for a Starry Night, which was mentioned on Dorothy-L.  The Zappos' book only had 211 locations of content, but was a free download that I wanted to read to figure out how to categorize. The second Pizza Lover's was due to download on Sunday, so I wanted to get the first one read.

Final tally: 26 cozies, 1 Francis, 1 Wilson, 1 children's book, 1 young adult, and 1 article.  Only three re-reads.

1. Rotten to the Core (2) by Sheila Connolly
2. Red Delicious Death (3) by Sheila Connolly
3. How to Wash a Cat (1) by Rebecca Hale
4. Nine Lives Last Forever (2) by Rebecca Hale
5. A Killer Plot by Ellery Adams
6. Candy, Corpses, and Classified Ads by JL Wilson
7. Stork Raving Mad (12) by Donna Andrews

14. Murder Checks Inn (Lighthouse 3) by Tim Myers
15. Room for Murder (Lighthouse 4) by Tim Myers
