Pages Read Total: 750

Reading Helpers: Plane ride and a sleepy baby.

Challenges: None for me.

Comments: Saturday was our all day traveling day. On the ride to Indiana, I didn't read at all. This time I got in a ton of reading when Arthur was sleeping or quietly playing with a toy. The middle seat was empty, so it was easy to lay him next to me and save my arms. I finished TFiOS, a short story, and started another book. I didn't meet my goals, but I did get more reading done than I thought I realistically would.

Goals:

Read 5 books -- Failed...
Read 1000 pages -- Failed... but did fairly well with 750 pages
Review all books read -- Success! Of course, I only read two books and a short story, but I reviewed them!
Participate in 2 challenges -- Failed... I didn't participate in a single challenge this time.

TBR Pile: My various selections. I won't get to all these, but this is my pile of options.

Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein
A Room with a View by E.M. Forster

Added: Shambling with the Stars by Jesse Petersen
Added: The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama (in progress)

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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.
