Aaaand that’s a wrap! Another Bout of Books is in the books (lol, I’m so funny) and I actually met my goal for the first time! More info about Bout of Books for newbies:
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd 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. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
Here’s a summary of my goals and how well I did with them for this round of Bout of Books:
Get all of the summery reading done!
- Read 5 books from the TBR below (hopefully at least one is a reread) » Check! (minus the reread thing, I didn’t get to that)
- Read only from this TBR of summer books I already own » Check! (minus the fact that one book is a Sarah Dessen audiobook that I was already reading, finished, and counted)
- Must read Nantucket Blue for August’s Book Buddies review with Cristina » Check!
- Participate in at least two challenges and/or Twitter chats » Check! (two challenges, no Twitter chats unfortunately)

Great job. 5 books in 1 week. I’m impressed!
Thank you! 😀
Congratulations on meeting your goal! I did too, so high fives all around 🙂 I always enjoy Bout of Books – can’t wait for the next one!
Woohoo!!
Nicely done! I always have fun doing Bout of Books. This time I didn’t read quite as much as I wanted to. There is always next time.
Yes exactly! It’s fun regardless.
Congrats on reaching your goals for Bout of Books! It was so much fun. Sorry you couldn’t manage to participate in a Twitter chat. Hopefully next time. 🙂
Thank you!
[…] be thinking I’m crazy for joining another challenge and/or readathon. I mean, I JUST finished Bout of Books on Sunday and am still (technically supposed to be) participating in ARC […]
You had some great books on your list and you did great at reading them! I really need to reread Along For the Ride … it was my first Sarah Dessen and it got me hooked on her! And yay for Nantucket Blue! I need to reread that one so I can read Nantucket Red 🙂
Great job!
I love Along for the Ride so much!
