The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized
by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple.
It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 6th
and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in.
Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.

DAY 5 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 5:

1. Sanshiro, by Natsume Soseki = 56 pages

Total for Day 5:  56 pages
TOTAL so far:  352/575

This is getting more pathetic than even anticipated. It was definitely not a good idea to do it with this super busy and exhausting week

I did the Instagram challenge.
And on Twitter, I posted the perfect book for the “The One With the Books in It” challenge.

📚📚📚

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

1. 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:

1. Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz = 111 pages – FINISHED
2. 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
– on Instagram, a winter-themed book from my shelves

I also managed to write 2 reviews:

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

1. 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
– on Instagram, my feel-good book

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.

📚📚📚

NB: This is my 14th participation in #boutofbooks

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

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!
