Bout of Books 9.0: Daily Updates

Bout of Books

So excited to get started!! :) I'm going to try and keep my updates from the day at the top. To check out my book list and goals for BOB...go here. I'm also an expert again, so I hope to visit lots of blogs and roots lots of people on!

Wrap Up
Although I didn't do as well as I would've wanted to do, I think I did well considering what all I had going on during the week. I finished The Lost Hero and Anna and the French Kiss. I read 586 pages total. I am hoping to visit a bunch of bloggers today to congratulate them on their results. Hope everyone else did well and accomplished a ton of their goals :)

 
Sunday 1/12
What I'm Reading:
Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)
Pages read: 20
Books finished: 2
Thoughts: 7PM We had a very busy day yesterday preparing for our friends to come over and then today has been really family-oriented. I haven't done any reading. I think part of it is I'm just not in the mood right now and the other part of it is that it's been very busy lately. Our schedule has been so out of whack with the kids and Nick being out of school/work. I think I would've done way better if BOB had been next week. I am hoping to crack open Finale and read a little bit tonight in bed though. Tomorrow I want to visit a bunch of blogs since I've been a horrible expert this go around.

Saturday 1/11
What I'm Reading:
Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)
Pages read: 0
Books finished: 2
Thoughts: 9AM I haven't been doing a very good job of reading for fun. Mostly just school reading. Today I'm also going to try and counteract how I haven't visited anyone since day 1. Ouch.


Friday 1/10
What I'm Reading:
Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)
Pages Read: 0
Books finished:2
Thoughts: 8AM Finished Anna last night - ahhhh all the feels and another contemporary author I now ADORE!! I decided to go ahead and finish Finale since I just started 2 new series and I should probably finish one or two.


Thursday 1/9
What I'm Reading:
Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)
Pages Read: 324
Books finished: 2
Thoughts: 7AM As of right now, the kids will be back in school in about an hour and Nick will be leaving for work around the same time. So this means Momma finally gets her alone time that should've started on Monday LOL. Going to continue Anna - it's very good so far! I participated in the Double Date Book Challenge hosted by Writing My Own Fairy Tale. 10PM I spent the majority of my day working on college (at least 6 1/2 hours), the rest was cleaning and cooking, so not much reading done today. I'll be reading a lot in bed though.


Wednesday 1/8
What I'm Reading:
Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)
Pages read: 68
Books finished: 1
Thoughts: 8AM Another snow day for the kids and hubby. ICK. Glad I went grocery shopping on Monday before this hit! I'm going to try and make a dent in Anna today.


Tuesday 1/7
What I'm Reading:
The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1)Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)
Pages read: 115 + 8 = 123
Books finished: 1
Thoughts: 9AM It's already been pretty eventful today. I woke up at 6am to a phone call that school was cancelled for the kids and helped Nick shovel the driveway. I'm expecting he'll be home before too long as nonessential personnel is being released at 9:30am. I was too cold to be comfortable so I finished Lost Hero and then went back to sleep. Going to visit some blogs and maybe do some challenges and then start Anna & the French Kiss!  11AM Participated in the Reading Tactics challenge on Sarah Says Read.

 
Monday 1/6
What I'm Reading:
The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1)
Pages read: 51
Books finished: 0
Thoughts: 7AM I have a few errands to run this morning, but I should be able to read during one of them and then I have to take a break to do some homework, but after that I should be good to go for reading the heck out of some books :) First up though is finishing The Lost Hero. 6PM I participated in the Book Buying Spree Challenge hosted by Bookish Comforts. Visited Beckie, Kristen, Sharon, Stephanie, Melissa (who used a TBR jar - awesomesauce!!), another Stephanie, and Samantha. I haven't really read any today, but I'm about to now!

I love Rick Riordan's series! Congrats on finishing two books and I think that is great with all the unexpectedness you had this week.
