Bout of Books 36 Progress

Bout of Books 36 is here! With everything that’s happened in the last couple of months, my reading has slowed way down. I’m really excited to get my reading on this week and hit 2023 running!

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 36 Signup

I’ve decided to join the Bout of Books readathon from January 2nd to 8th. Since I start school on the 9th, I decided that Bout of Books would be a great way to jump start my reading for 2023.

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, January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th 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 36 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. 

From the Bout of Books team

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to read my Unofficial Trim Challenge book, MISTBORN by Brandon Sanderson, and start my IRL book club book, MY GRANDMOTHER ASKED ME TO TELL YOU SHE’S SORRY by Frederik Backman. I may read some of my January PBT book as well, TASTE: MY LIFE THROUGH FOOD by Stanley Tucci.

Bout of Books 35 Wrap-up

That’s it! Another Bout of Books has come and gone. It was a big, fat bust of a reading week for me. I tried to find time to read, but I didn’t feel very well for part of the week. I focused my time on watching TV and movies because that’s usually what I do when I’m not feeling well. I also worked on my blog a few days during the week.

I hope this week was more successful for other participants than it was for me. 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 January 2 to 8, 2023. Hopefully, I’ll have better luck next time.

Instagram Challange

I did take a couple of pictures for the Instagram Challenge. Here they are.

Totals

Here are my totals! I only read a little bit this week. It’s better than nothing, though.

Pages Read: 170 pages
Hours Read: 6 hours 51 minutes

Bout of Books 35 Progress

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
Book Finished: None
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.

Wednesday

Pages Read: 33 pages
Time Read: 51 minutes
Book Finished: None
Currently Reading: LINES OF COURAGE
Comments: I spent most of the day working on my blog. Once I was done, I read until my husband got home from his trip.

Comments: I spent most of my day blogging, watching James Bond movies with my husband, and napping because I didn’t sleep well last night.

I’m joining the Bout of Books readathon from August 15th to 21st. Since I start school on the 22nd, I decided that Bout of Books would be a great way to get one last hurrah in before I’ll be preoccupied with homework.

At this point, I’m not exactly sure 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.
