Bout of Books 6.0 Sticky Post

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon



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:


CURRENTLY READING:



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.

  1. 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.

    Good luck with your goals!

  2. 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.

  5. Sometimes it takes a while to get going on readathons. As long as you're enjoying your book, that's all that matters!

  9. 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!

    Happy reading.

  12. I 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!
