Here is my poem. I used 3 books and that gives me 3 extra words to use.
From UNREMEMBERED ORIGIN comes LUCID dreams.
Notes about today: Today I was shocked it was 100 degrees. I don't mind the heat but it made me so sleepy. So needless to say that I did not read as much as I thought I should have. I will try and finish 100 pages tomorrow. But the way I spent way to much time on Twitter, Blog Hopping and browsing though the e-library collection of audiobooks. Why? I have no idea. I just got sucked in. Tomorrow I will try and finish at least one book.

Today's Challenges Host
Resummarize a Cover hosted by Queen Ella Bee Reads
Notes about today: Yesterday was a fail. I got really nothing done as far as reading goes. I did complete a review and I started a second one. I have a few more to do. I want to complete as much as possible before I leave for BEA at the end of the month. I think the best thing will be to lock myself into a room and not leave until all of them are done. With coffee, water and pastries of course. I am still looking for a book to jump into. But for now the audiobook Free! The Future of a Radical Price will do.
Number of pages I've read today: 0 hours + 4 pages

Notes about today: I have kinda slacked on my reading the minute I hit my goal. I will jump back to reading soon. But I feel a bit of burn out yet again. I think to many read-a-thons are doing it to me. To many challenges too! I use to just pick up and just read. Now I am trying to fit in a book at every waking moment. I need to do a few months of just reading my books and not trying to get a read-a-thon goal list done in a day of two. So with that said.... I hit my goal and I finished two books in the ARC Clean Sweep Challenge as well. Review are getting written next.
How are you doing on your Bout of Books goals?
