MY GOALS:
- Weekdays (Monday - Friday): To read at least 30% to 50% of whatever book that I am reading.
- Weekends (Saturday - Sunday): Read at least one book a day. (This might be hard because I have a book club meeting and a coffee meeting on Saturday).
BOOKS TO READ:
UPDATES:
Monday: I achieved the low end of my goal, reading 30% of a book a today. I am kind of disappointed, I had hoped to reach at least 40%. But it was a rough day at work and I was exhausted, so I'll take what I can get.

Tuesday: It was a great day for me reading wise. I read on my lunch break and after work on my bus ride. Then when I got home, I read some more. I was at that point in the book where I did not want to put it down and needed to know how it ended. I beat my goal and read 56% of a book.

Wednesday: When I got home from work, I just wasn't in the mood to read. So, today was not a good reading day and I didn't meet my goal or do any of the other things that I was suppose to do today. It was just one of those days.

Great selection of books! I really enjoyed Little Bee. And I never got around to Let the Great World Spin, I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals!
I have "Little Bee". I bought it from a library book sale for about $1. I'll wait to see your thoughts on this one. "The Autobiography of an Ex Colored Man" is already on my TBR. I like the "Amos" cover. I'm going to check out a synopsis.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a really good selection of books! Best of luck with all your goals! :)

Oh you've made a great start Monique! I hope you're enjoying your current read and good luck today! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it takes a while to get going on readathons. As long as you're enjoying your book, that's all that matters!
ReplyDeleteStill a great start ;) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteGood job on day 2! I love when I get sucked into a book like that.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! And good progress for day 2!
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the rest of the week and Happy Reading! ^^
Congratulations on the great start to the week - and great book choices! It's been aaages since I read The Color Purple, but I definitely have Let the Great World Spin lying around SOMEWHERE. I hope you get equally sucked into a brilliant book again on Day 3 - happy reading! :D

You've got a good selection of books. I've always wanted to read the Color Purple but that'll be later in the year. I read the Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man in college and loved it!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading.

Keep up the good work! I hope your challenge is going well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your Bout of Books. I read Little Bee too. Have to say that you have some great books coming up. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think every other Bout of Books I've had book group. We should make it into an extra challenge: attend 1 book group during BoB!
