Bout of Books 22 Wrap Up Post

LLnmmXw

So for one of my goals this year to help me focus more on reading and having concentrated time for reading, I decided to participate in all 3 Bout of Books reading challenges / read-a-thons this year! This was the second one and I didn’t exactly get a lot done but it was still ok amounts of successful.

Below were the goals that I had set for the week and my assessment with how I did on them.

Time Devoted to Reading

I plan to read at least 2 hours each day during the week, with hopefully additional hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Saturday I’m working and I have a bridal shower but then Sunday is pretty open so hopefully I can make up for any lost time on Saturday. I usually like to take a day or two off during the May reading challenge but this year I’m not able to because I’m too busy.

Things didn’t go quite according to plan – There was a lot of things that came up this week and also between work and social events and trying to get some down time in between there wasn’t a lot of time left for reading.

My Goals

My goals for this read-a-thon are that I’d like to participate in as much as I can: the daily posts plus reading every day.

I did not participate in any of the daily challenges but I did read every day (except Sunday which I took off).

Books to Read

Finish A Harmless Little Plan by Meli Raine – Finished ! and reviewed!
Finish The Favorite Sister by Jessica Knoll – Finished and reviewed!
Read The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams – Started
Read The Optimist’s Guide to Letting Go by Amy E. Reichert
Read Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall

Overall this was not the greatest week of reading for me but I was able to get a little reading done at least. Looking forward to the next one in August!
