Welcome to my Bout of Books 16 update post! Rather than have lots of small daily posts I shall just update this one every day with my progress (or lack of) and any challenges I may do.
Goals
- Read at least 7 books over 7 days
- Participate in social stuff - Twitter, commenting etc.
Day 1
I am so behind with everything in real life just now that reading and blogging seems to have taken a back seat. I managed to read a fabulous middle grade book today, The Windvale Sprites by Mackenzie Crook - yes, that Mackenzie Crook, the actor from The Detectorists etc. No socializing though and still haven't done the 'introduce yourself in six words' thing.

Day 2
Today was a day of frustration, Blogger wasn't working properly and of course it was my stop on a blog tour so I was not in the best of moods. I also had the opticians, eye test and choosing prescription sunglasses ready pour mes vacances en France at the end of the month!

Day 3
I wasn't well today so the thought of doing anything but going to bed after finishing work was not appealing. I was only briefly online to try and sort out a blog post which hadn't posted thanks to Blogger and that was it! As for reading I decided to pick up possibly the biggest, heaviest book on my TBR pile and read about 100 pages.
Today's Read(s): Aeronaut's Windlass - Jim Butcher
Number of books I’ve read today: 0
Number of pages I’ve read today: 105
Total number of books read: 2
Total number of pages read: 1625
Day 4
Much improved but still not 100% so curled up in bed for most of the day. Aeronaut's Windlass was just too heavy to keep reading in bed so I picked up a psychological thriller by Carol Goodman and devoured the whole thing!

Day 5
Ill again but not too ill that I couldn't read, curled up in bed most of the day with a stack of library books. I started about five different books and eventually kept going with The Edge Of Nowhere by Elizabeth George.

Wow, you're doing great! I'm almost done with my first Bout of Books book, hoping to finish it tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Here's hoping you've read a book or two now as well :)
DeleteI loved the Aeronaut's Windlass so hope you'll get back to it! Sounds like you had a rough week, but got some good reading in.
ReplyDeleteI loved the 100 or so pages I read so will definitely go back to it. I might have to give in and get the ebook version though as I'm struggling with the hardcover, too heavy for my dodgy wrists/hands...
DeleteYou may not have read your 7 books, but you read a lot! Especially while sick!
