Bout of Books 11: Update and Winner

Hi All!

Just wanted to post a few Bout of Books updates to let you know how I am doing so far. 

This Bout of Books I haven't participated as much as I did in the past.  I don't have time to try out the great list of mini-challenges. And I am doing mostly audiobooks this time so I can sit and listen while at work, driving to work, driving home from work and while at home doing housework.  Dang!  The word "work" is a bit to much.  What the ...?  What happened to just reading time?

But that is how my Bout of Books is going to have to go this time. 

So on to the updates.

Bout of Books Challenge: Book Spine Poetry

 
Welcome Fellow Bout of Bookers!
Today is Day 2 and I hope you are all getting a few pages turned in your read-a-thon book.
I am reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes right now and hopefully I will finish it before the last day of the read-a-thon.  I know you didn't come here to chat about the read-a-thon but to have some fun in the hopes of winning a great prize.  So here it is...

Bout of Books 11.0: Goals

 
Hosted by Bout of Books

Yep! I am going to try and get a book (or two) off of my DNF list.  I have a ever growing DNF list this year.  Last year there were just two books and only one from the year before.  Right now as it stands I have 5 books started and not completed. 
So my Bout of Books goal is to get one of the five off the Did Not Finish List.

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!

Bout of Books 7.0: Sign up & Goals

It's almost that time again! Time to get our reading on with Bout of Books! Yes!!! Another Read-A-Thon! Just like last year I plan on getting a book or two off my TBR list and on to my Finished list.

What's Bout of Books all about?

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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Everyday of the read-a-thon this post will be updated.  

I am really looking forward to reading few books from my bookshelf.  This will be the first read-a-thon where all my books are from my bookshelf.  Nothing from the library or the bookstore, all from home.  YEAH!!  :)

Bout of Books 6.0 -Goals

Bout of Books 5.0 This is going to be my second time doing the Bout of Books Read-A-Thon.  Last year I saw the button on several blogs and thought I was going to pass on it but the more and more I thought about it... I really needed to focus and get some reading done.  So I jumped in and got a lot of my goals accomplished.  This year I am happy to say that I will be jumping in once again.
As I looked over my post from last year I am shocked I got so much done.  Then I realized...I was not working that month.  So things will be not as impressive as last time.  I am adding one audiobook this year and hopefully I will get to one book of my bookshelf and/or the book club book of the month.
