DAY 4 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 4:

Audiobook: The Book of Genesis = 10 minutes, equivalent to 2!! pages

Total for Day 4: 2 pages!!
TOTAL so far: 296/575

Who knew this was going to be the most pathetic day!!! I went to a late Christmas party and so had no time at all to read in the evening. And another party tonight, unless snow comes and changes our plans.

I did the Instagram challenge (the other one didn’t inspire me):

AND I did manage to write a short review for Eagle Strike. It will be live on 1/12 in my Sunday Post.

DAY 3 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 3:

Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz = 111 pages – FINISHED
Audiobook: The Book of Genesis = 1H05, equivalent to 18 pages

Total for Day 3: 129 pages
TOTAL so far: 294/575

I also did 2 challenges:

– on Twitter, bookish matchmaking, books I’m looking for

DAY 2 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 2:

Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz = 80 pages

Total for Day 2: 80 pages
TOTAL so far: 165/575

I also did 2 challenges:

– on Twitter, my 2020 goal

With Church (Nativity celebration) and an evening party, I didn’t have much time, and decided to use the little reading time I had with an easy one, which is YA adventure/mystery.

DAY 1 RECAP
NB: This is my 14th participation in #boutofbooks

Here is what I read (actually listened to) on DAY 1:

Theological Territories, by David Bentley Hart = 16 pages
Sanshiro, by Natsume Soseki = 4 pages
Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz = 30 pages
Audiobook: The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Hokakura: 1H40 minutes = 35 pages
FINISHED

Total for Day 1: 85 pages
TOTAL so far: 85/575

I also did 2 challenges:

And I managed to write a short review for The Book of Tea (will be live on 1/12).
So not too bad withe little time I had today.
So glad I had to cook something for Church and wrap gifts for our Nativity celebration this Tuesday – that gave me time to listen to audiobooks!
