Bout of Books 10.0: Wrap Up Post



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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Bout of Books 10.0 is OVER and now I have to WAIT until the next one. Which is sad. But I guess I should tell you all how I did with my goals this time around...

The Goals and The Results:

1. Read for at least 3 hours a day.

  • Check! (I think?)

2. Read at least 5 books from the list below.

3. Participate in at least 1 Twitter chat.

  • Check! 

4. Meet some new bloggers and make awesome new friends.

  • I don't know if I did so much of that. But maybe?

5. Participate in at least 2 challenges.

  • Ooooops nope. 

Well. I guess I managed more than half of my goals, so that's pretty good. I think I've been failing at Bout of Books (both this time and last) because I have a job in retail and it's hard to get home at 9pm and then do all this stuff? I don't know. I want to play in my free time sometimes. But maybe next time will be better? Either way, I HAD FUN and that's really what it's all about.

Anyway, thanks again to Amanda and Kelly. You ladies are the best. Really. I can't wait for the next Bout of Books!
