Bout of Books 11.0 Finish Line!

See this content in the original post

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 √

TBR Pile:

  • Becoming Mona Lisa by Donald Sassoon (in progress)
  • Washington by Ron Chernow
  • The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
  • Living History by Hilary Rodham Clinton
  • The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
  • Moonglow by Kristen Callihan √
  • Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn

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.
