BoB: Day 7 & Wrap-up

Bout of Books 18


And it is over! The Bout of Books 18 was fun!!! So here's how I did:
Reading Progress 7
Pages read: 357
Time listened: 3 hours and 17 minutes
Books finished today: 3
Reviews written today: 2
Total pages read: 602
Total time listened: 9 hours and 46 minutes
Total books read: 5
Total Reviews written: 3

These are the books I was able to finish for this week:
  • Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper (review)
  • 8: The Untold Story by Michael Mullin (review)
  • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling (review soon)
  • A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban (review)
  • The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston (review)

 My Thoughts

Woah! I was able to squeeze in three more books on the last minute. :D

I am glad that I was able to read and listen to as much as I did. I was not able to finish The Martian, which I started on the last week of December, but I'm not too worried. I'll eventually finish it sometime this upcoming week. I'm just glad that I was able to listen to 2 audios, read 2 books from my TBR pile/shelves, and 1 book from the library. All of these books counted for different challenges that I signed up for 2017. So, achievement!!!


 How did the read-a-thon go for you?

    Wow, impressive!! You did awesome this round of BOB!! That's cool that you read five books. I am looking forward to reading your review of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling.

    I finished reading and reviewing four books this week, which was my goal, Additionally, I started an audiobook today titled Juliet Takes A Breath by Gabby Rivera. Gabby Rivera is a new to me author and a book club pick for Bustle's 2017 American Woman Book Club. It's a really good read so far.

    Awesome job! I know the BoB readathon goes so fast! I still need to read Fantastic Beasts, but I am not for sure if the format will make it difficult or not. Hope you enjoyed it!

      It went by so fast!!!
      The format for Fantastic Beasts is not hard. It's a very easy read. It all depends if you like reading screenplays.
