I’m joining the Bout of Books readathon from May 9th to 15th. Since I’m taking a break from school this summer, I decided that Bout of Books would be a great way to spend my time that week.
For those of you who don’t know what Bout of Books is, here’s the official blurb from the Bout of Books blog:
The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 9th and runs through Sunday, May 15th in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional.For all Bout of Books 34 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

At this point, I don’t know exactly what books will be on my official Bout of Books TBR, but I’ll post an update with my reading choices when Bout of Books begins.
That’s it! Another Bout of Books has come and gone. I had a great time focusing on my reading this week and participating in the Instagram challenges each day. I also enjoyed visiting other blogs from the linky on the Bout of Books blog and those who commented on mine.
I hope everyone who participated had just as much fun as I did. Thank you, Amanda and Kelly, for all the hard work you put into making Bout of Books as much fun as it is each and every time!
Don’t forget that the next Bout of Books is May 9 to 15, 2022.

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 Comments: I think I’ll finish ANXIOUS PEOPLE tomorrow. I’m so excited to see what happens!
Thursday
Pages Read: 224 pages 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.
Friday
Pages Read: 122 pages Time Read: 3 hours 41 minutes Book Finished: ANXIOUS PEOPLE Currently Reading: ANXIOUS PEOPLE Comments: I’m glad that I felt well enough to read today and I’m so glad I finished ANXIOUS PEOPLE. It was such a joy to read.
Saturday
Pages Read: 0 pages Time Read: – Book Finished: None Currently Reading: – 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.
Sunday
Pages Read: 180 pages Time Read: 4 hours 58 minutes Book Finished: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE by CS Lewis Currently Reading: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE Comments: I’m glad I felt well enough to read for so long today, especially since the later the day got the worse I felt.
Nothing like waiting to the last minute to decide, but I’m joining the Bout of Books readathon from January 3rd to 9th. I’ve been toying with the idea of participating for about a month now. Since school doesn’t start again until January 10th, I decided that Bout of Books would be a great way to jump start my reading for 2022.

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to read my Unofficial Trim Challenge book, ANXIOUS PEOPLE by Frederik Backman, and start my IRL book club book, KEEP MOVING: NOTES ON LOSS, CREATIVITY, AND CHANGE by Maggie Smith. I may read some of my January PBT book as well, HOW TO: ABSURD SCIENTIFIC ADVICE FOR COMMON REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS by Randall Munroe.
