Bout of Books 6.0: Wrap Up Post

I participated in the Bout of Books 6.0 last week and while I got a lot done, I didn’t get quite as much as I was hoping. Here is some info about the read-a-thon from the
founders:

“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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th
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. For all Bout of Books 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 6.0 team“

My Goals:

• To read/ listen at least 2 hours a day M-F and at least 5 hours on Saturday and Sunday
• To finish at least 4 complete books, plus the 1 that I need to finish
• To listen to at least 3 hours of audio

 

What I Accomplished:

• Finished The Winter Palace – had 117 pages left as start of read-a-thon
• Read  and completed:
• The Look of Love by Bella Andre
• Perfect Fit by Carly Phillips
• From This Moment On by Bella Andre
• The Forgotten Queen by DL Bogdan
• Audio:
• Seven Up by Janet Evanovich – finished – 7 hours 10 minutes
• Summer House by Nancy Thayer – 2 hours 40 minutes
• Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich –  2 hours 15 minutes

 

Overall Totals: 

Pages read: 1042

Books finished: 5

Time reading: 19 hours 20 minutes

Time listening: 12 hours 5 minutes

Overall time: 31 hours 25 minutes

 

So, I got 5 books done, but 2 were not from the original list. Still, it was a good week!
