Women's Reading Challenge Completed

 

Hosted by PeekABook

I have completed my second reading challenge!  Whoot!  Whoot!  This one was too easy to be honest.  The challenge was to red book written by women author's.  I think I read way more books by women than man.  By far!  

New Cover: Kevin's Point of View

Last year I received a book by the name of Kevin's Point of View from the books author Del Shannon for review.  It was one of my first books from an author for review.  After reading it, I gave the book 5 out 5 stars because it held my attention and was a great children's adventure. 

Recently, Del Shannon emailed me to let me know his book has a new cover.  But before I reveal the new cover I want to tell you a bit of information about the old cover.

So from what I have heard, the old cover was from a drawing a young reader drew after reading the book.  The picture was from a scene in the book of Kevin in the bathroom.  I love that Del thought enough of his young readers to have them involved in the creative process of his writing this book.  How cool is that?!  

Old Cover with Old Title

Now are you ready for the new and improved cover.  The 2.0 version.

Hold on to your hats, purses and belts.

Ladies (and gents) here is the new cover......

*drumroll*

Bout of Books 7.0: Wrap Up

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!
