BOUT OF BOOKS 28
Day 3 recap
#boutofbooks
NB: This is my 15th participation in #boutofbooks
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, May 11th
and runs through Sunday, May 17th 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.

You’re doing great! I’ve decided to write just one wrap-up post at the end (I’m not joining any of the mini-challenges or anything), and I’ve done pretty well. Yesterday was a bit of a slump, but I had a bunch of work to do.

ah yes, work is always in the way of reading, lol! I always do one post a day, recopying the previous post and adding the recap of the day on top, as lots of other bloggers visit many blogs this week. Always lots of traffic that week
