Bout of Books 35 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.

Bout of Books 35 is finally here! With everything that’s happened in the last month and a half, my reading has slowed way down. I’m really excited to get my reading on this week!

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 with my totals.

I’ll also be joining in on the Instagram challenge this week. Click here if you’d like to follow me on Instagram .

Bout of Books TBR

I’m hoping I’ll be able to read my IRL book club book, LINES OF COURAGE by Jennifer A Nielsen, and finish WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by Delia Owens. I also want to start on my massive library haul pile, which includes: A THOUSAND MILES by Bridget Morrissey, MISS ALDRIDGE REGRETS by Louise Hare, THE GOOD SISTER by Sally Hepworth, THE HIDING PLACE by Paula Munier, and DEAD WATER by CA Fletcher.

Progress

Monday

Pages Read: 31 pages
Time Read: 3 hours
Book Finished: None
Currently Reading: LINES OF COURAGE by Jennifer A. Nielsen
Comments: I know 31 pages isn’t a lot of reading, but I did actually read quite a bit today. LINES OF COURAGE is about WWI and I’m fascinated with this time and during WWII. Because of this, I read the author’s note first which sent me down a rabbit hole of looking up information Jennifer A. Nielsen mentioned.

Tuesday

Pages Read: 106 pages
Time Read: 3 hours

Currently Reading: LINES OF COURAGE
Comments: I started reading in the late evening so I was a bit slower than normal due to being tired. Also, I did keep looking up information about WWI so that slowed down my actual page count.
