Pages read total: 1007

Comments: I finished Where'd You Go Bernadette last night (great book!) and dove back into Dragonfly in Amber. I probably won't finish that one before the end of the readathon, but I can at least read a good chunk.

My Goals:

  • Finish Bitterblue -- actually finished before Monday
  • Finish 2 other books √
  • Review all books read √
  • Read 1000 pages √
  • Knock off at least 8 reading challenge spots -- Only six, but still a good job

TBR Pile:

  • Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore -- actually finished before Monday
  • Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon (in progress)
  • Young House Love by Sherry and John Petersik √
  • Common Phrases by Myron Korach √
  • Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara
  • Added: Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple √

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 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.
