DAY 1 RECAP
NB: This is my 13th participation in #boutofbooks

Here is what I read on DAY 1:

Elder Leonid of Optina = 20 pages
Don Quixote, by Cervantes = 14 pages
The Dark Lake, by Sarah Bailey = 68 pages
Audiobook: Le mystère de la chambre jaune, by Gaston Leroux
= 56 minutes, equivalent to 31 pages

Total for Day 1: 158 pages
TOTAL so far: 158/805

I’m super happy with Day 1, especially as I used one hour of my usual evening reading time to participate in the Twitter Chat!

I also did 2 challenges:

– on Twitter, Introduce yourself #insixwords
– on Instagram, currently reading

And I participated in the twitter chat. I enjoyed meeting a few new bloggers, and getting a couple of books recommendations. It was nice to have a few new questions.
Every year we are asked how many boutofbooks we’ve participated in, and I never really know. So I took time to go through my blog, and the answer is BoutofBooks26 is my #13!
And posted a giveaway!!
