I had so much fun doing this, taking part in sprints and completing the challenges.  I can't wait for the next one!

Bout of Books Update #7 & Wrap Up

Over the course of this Bout of Books I finished three books and read a total of 635 pages.  I also read some of Morning Glories Vol. 3, P.E. and Monument 14: Savage Drift.  I'm pretty happy with those results.  :)

Bout of Books #6

I read 204 pages and finished 2 books.  Woohoo!

What an amazing book!

Loads of fun!

Bout of Books Update #5

Today was a day out to lunch with my husband and soccer in the evening so I didn't have a lot of time to read.  I read 29 pages and am almost done with The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Bout of Books Update #4

I read 110 pages today.  Really making progress in The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Bout of Books Update #3

I'm really enjoying The Summer I Turned Pretty.  It wasn't quite what I expected it to be but it's really got me interested now.  I read 70 pages in it on Day 3 of Bout of Books.

Bout of Books Update #2

I started reading The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han and read 54 pages.  I was out all evening or I'm sure I would have read even more.  The book is not what I was expecting but I really like it.

Bout of Books Update #1

I finished my first book yesterday, which I was close to finishing to begin with.  This was not my favorite book, but in finishing it I completed my GoodReads challenge for the year.  Yae!

I read a total of 36 pages yesterday.

My Bout of Books TBR Pile

This is the TBR pile I have so far...I should be getting a few graphic novels from the library this week that I've placed holds on, but so far this is what I have to read.  I'm almost done with Secrets of my Hollywood Life and have started Fray so those should be easy to finish.  Morning Glories Vol. 3  I have been dieing to read and The Summer I Turned Pretty is supposed to be really good.  So hopefully this pile will get me going pretty well!

I'm taking part in Bout of Books!

This will be the third time I've taken part on Bout of Books and I'm really looking forward to it. Any excuse to read!  I'll post a TBR pile tomorrow.

I finished challenges 1 (Blue cover) 5 & 6 (Read a book without letting go of it and a book you really want to read).

I never get as much reading done as I think I will (though a RAT that's not during soccer season would be probably give me a better total) but I do get more read than I would without these RATs. I'm only one book away from making my yearly goal.  Woohoo!

BookTube-A-Thon
