Bout of Books 25: Day 5 Update

Bout of Books Read-a-thon Sign-Ups

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in whatever time zone you are in.  Bout of Books is low-pressure.   There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.

Well, it looks like I've met all of my proposed goals... except for that bonus goal of reading 2 to 5 hours daily.  I haven't been keeping track well enough to know if I've met that goal.  But I've finished reading 3 books (which is also me taking liberties with the way I've worded the goal to read 3 books, since technically, I read one book and finished two books that were already in progress... so if I wanted to split hairs, I really only read the equivalent of two books... but who's really couting?)

I've managed to post an update everyday, even if I made little progress in reading.

And with the weekend coming up, I've got two things in mind:  1) Do some serious reading to put a serious dent in the books I'm currently reading, and 2) some Booklikes-opoly planning!!

Really, I don't think I'm going to spend too much time planning for the new game, but I DO truly want to finish as many of my current reads as possible so that I can start fresh for the new game's new start date.  Obviously that's probably NOT going to happen, but we can hope, right?

Meanwhile, as far as progress for the day goes, I managed to read a little from Mortal Arts, and continue to make great progress listening to The Sittaford Mystery.  Then, I kind of just breezed through The Bone Woman and finished reading it a little before midnight.

Now I can move onto the next book!
