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.

FINAL RECAP
As you can see below, I didn’t manage to read as much as I would have liked, even though this was less than my previous Bout of Books record.
So instead of an average of 82 pages/day, I reached 74.
BUT I’m happy, as I actually didn’t have much time this week, because it was our Nativity celebration at Church, and it ended up being quite exhausting.
And I’m happy I finished 3 books (5 already total) in 2020, and I have only 39 pages left in Sanshiro, so I’ll finish this one tonight.
So far, I have also reviewed ll the books I have read this year, which is unreal for me. I’ll try to make this last…
- Eagle Strike, by Anthony Horowitz = FINISHED
- Audiobook: The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Okakura = FINISHED
- Audiobook: The Book of Genesis = FINISHED
📚📚📚
DAY 7 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 7:
- Sanshiro, by Natsume Soseki = 18 pages
- Audiobook: The Haunted Bookshop = 24 minutes = equivalent to 16 pages
Total for Day 7: 34 pages
TOTAL so far: 523/575
That’s great for the audio time I had ironing to do!
I did the Instagram challenge, featuring (some of) my shelves
📚📚📚
DAY 6 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 6:
- Sanshiro, by Natsume Soseki = 112 pages
- Audiobook: The Book of Genesis = 2H15, equivalent to 10 pages = FINISHED
- Audiobook: The Haunted Bookshop = 25 minutes, equivalent to 15 pages
Total for Day 6: 137 pages
TOTAL so far: 489/575
That’s great for the audio time I had ironing to do!
I did the Instagram challenge, about an anticipated release
📚📚📚
DAY 5 RECAP
Here is what I read on DAY 5:
- 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:
- 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
– on Instagram, a winter-themed book from my shelves
I also managed to write 2 reviews:
– For Perfect Little Children: will be live on 1/15.
– For Figure Drawings for Kids: will be live on 1/10
📚📚📚
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
– 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.
📚📚📚
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 Okakura: 1H40 minutes = 35 pages
FINISHED
Total for Day 1: 85 pages
TOTAL so far: 85/575
I also did 2 challenges:
– on Twitter, Introduce yourself #insixwords
– on Instagram, currently reading
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!
