Bout of Books 11.0 ~~ Day 2 Update!!

Bout of Books


Yay, I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast so far participating in the 11th round of Bout of Books!! Things are off to a great start for me on my first day and I'm hoping to finish strong!


If you haven't heard about Bout of Books, then please read the following blurb to learn more! 

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.

    1. Thanks!! I am hoping to reach the halfway point in The Son by Philipp Meyer later today... This book is almost 600 pages in length. I'm listening to the audio version, which is fun because it's less strain on the eyes and I can listen to the audio version while I make/eat meals and other activities.
