Bout of Books 33 Progress

Bout of Books is a week-long readathon held every January, May, and August. It’s low-pressure. There are optional reading sprints, Twitter chats, and Instagram challenges.

During the week as I participate in Bout of Books, I’ll keep track of my progress on this post. At the end of the week, I’ll post a wrap-up post with my totals.

So far I’ve had a good time reading and joining in on the Instagram prompts. If you’d like to follow me on Instagram , click here.

Progress

Monday

Pages Read: 84
Time Read: 3 hours (I’m a slow reader)
Book Finished: None
Currently Reading: ANXIOUS PEOPLE by Frederik Backman
Comments: I’m really enjoying ANXIOUS PEOPLE so far. It’s funny and sad. I’m very curious as to what the whole picture is. It reminds me a little bit of TRULY MADLY GUILTY by Liane Moriarty.

Tuesday

Pages Read: 38 pages
Time Read: 1 hour
Book Finished: None
Currently Reading: ANXIOUS PEOPLE
Comments: I wasted too much time doing other things. By the time I started reading, it was really late and I couldn’t stay awake for longer than an hour.

Wednesday

Pages Read: 108 pages
Time Read: 3 hours 33 minutes
Book Finished: None
Currently Reading: ANXIOUS PEOPLE

Time Read: 2 hours 38 minutes
Book Finished: KEEP MOVING by Maggie Smith
Currently Reading: KEEP MOVING
Comments: I started feeling sick (not COVID–have to specify) on Tuesday and I’ve just been feeling worse and worse, especially today. When I’m feeling this sick, I don’t often like to read because I can’t concentrate on the words. Fortunately, my IRL book club book for January that I put on hold at the library came available and it was a really easy read.

Comments: I felt too sick today to read. As I said on Thursday, I don’t often like to read when I’m feeling this sick because I can’t concentrate on the words. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

    I followed you in IG @winesaboutbooks. I enjoyed Anxious People, not my favorite Backman book though, and I definitely want to watch the Netflix adaptation soon! Happy BoB!

    I struggled a bit with Anxious People but I was listening to it and now that I finished it and look back, it might just be a book that needs to be read in print and digested a bit slower.
