BOUT OF BOOKS 30
Day 6 recap
#boutofbooks
This is my 17th participation in #boutofbooks
The Bout of Books readathon is organized
by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple.
It’s a weeklong readathon that begins Monday, January 4th
and runs through Sunday, January 10th 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

Here is what I read on DAY 6:
Finally a very good reading day. though I totally forgot the Instagram challenge. As for the reading-in-place, I actually find rather disrupting: if I’m really into a book, I don’t look at the time. And why bother put an alarm to stop in 30 minutes?
I won’t have much time to read today.
- The Romanov Sisters = 102 pages
- Les grands cerfs = 19 pages
- Audiobook: C’est arrivé la nuit = 23 minutes = 20
Total for Day 6: 141 pages
TOTAL so far: 392/525

Here is what I read on DAY 5:
This week wasn’t as planned, lol, I guess that’s life. I read a bit more today, just barely above the average I had as daily goal

- Les grands cerfs = 11 pages
- Audiobook: C’est arrivé la nuit = 30 minutes = 29

Here is what I read on DAY 4:
I forgot that the first Bout of Books of the year is always difficult, because it’s the week I celebrate my own Christmas (Christian Orthodox Nativity, on January 7), so more Church time, and less reading.

Total for Day 4: 29 pages
TOTAL so far: 173 /525
