Bout of Books 7.0: Wrap Up

Bout of Books
And that is a wrap!
Whew!
I have to give myself a pat on the back.  Even though I set my goals kinda low (not the 10 books others read) I finished the three books I had listed in my original post.  One of them I actually finished the day before the read-a-thon started.  The review was posted during Bout of Books.  I have read 3 books.  Started a fourth.  Completed one review.  Drafted one review. Completed 5 post. And completed 2 books in my ARC Clean Sweep Challenge.  That is my personal AMAZING week of Bout of Books!

Did you participate in Bout of Books or any kind of reading, blogging event?  There were a few things going on around the Blogosphere this month/week.  I am for one am looking forward to the end of the month for a few reasons.  BEA and getting to meet publishers and bloggers.  Taking some needed Vaca from work.  And having a few plane hours (from LA to NY) to sleep and read.  Yippie!

Spine Speak: April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hosted by: Kimberly at Bookmark to Blog

I ran across this blog post during April's National Poetry Month and thought this would be a fun and interesting challenge to join in. What is Spine Speak all about?  According to Kimberly's blog post you have to gather 5 or more books to make a poem.  The poem should be posted on the 3rd Thursday of the month and follow the given theme.  Link the poem post (with picture, book title and author) to her site and if you complete all the listed months you can win a $50.00 Amazon Gift Card.  Now, who does not like to win $$.  How cool is that?
