Pages Read Today: 206 (The Strain)

Pages Read Total: 686

Reading Helpers: A cranky non-sleeping baby...

Challenges: None

Comments: Yet again, I struggled with this readathon.  This time I'm blaming too many previously scheduled activities and sickness for my love numbers.  I just never seemed to find a lot of time to sit and just read.  Every time the baby actually took a nap, I was wrapped up in house chores or answering emails.  Although I am excited about reading and finishing American Gods before book club earlier today.  And I read Part 1 of The Strain for the readalong and more.  I think I've decided to just keep reading The Strain instead of waiting for the next time period.  It's really sucked me in and creeped me out.  I must find out what happens...

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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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.
