Pages Read: 22 (Becoming Mona Lia)

Pages Read Total: 1180

Comments: This weekend was a total bust when it came to reading. Things just did not go my way. I only got one chapter into Becoming Mona Lisa, but at least it's a start. Overall, the week was decent. Way more pages than I've been averaging lately. I'm happy with my progress and I knocked three books off my list!

Goals:

Read more than 500 pages √
Participate in at least one challenge - fail
Participate in at least one Twitter chat - fail
Review all books read √

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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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.
