So I’m sure you noticed this past week I participated in Bout of Books, especially if you follow me on Twitter.
I had a blast! Though I didn’t reach my book goal because I was/still am sick, I thought I did pretty well anyway.
Here’s my wrap-up.
Books I read (these are all linked to my reviews):
- Gone by Michael Grant (558 pages)
- Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson (449 pages)
- The Eye of Minds by James Dashner (308 pages)
- If I Stay by Gayle Forman (234 pages)
- And I read half of The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (I read 212 pages of 408)
I read a total of 1,761 pages! My goal was to read five books and post five reviews. I read 4.5 of 5, so that’s not too shabby. I also posted 4 of 5 reviews.
Challenges I participated in:
My goal was participate in at least two challenges, so I definitely met that goal. These challenges were really fun! I loved digging through my bookshelf to find all the colors of the rainbow and to spell out TARDIS with the first letter of titles!
Twitter chats:
I participated in the Saturday Bout of Books challenge on Twitters. I found some new, amazing book blogs/BookTube channels to follow, which is awesome! Here’s my favorite tweet (this was in response to what is your favorite mythical creature):

So funny. The Twitter chat was really fun, so I’m definitely glad I participated in it.
The bottom line:
Overall, I had a really great Bout of Books. I was sinusy sick for most of it, which sucked because I had a sinus headache pretty much the whole time I was reading. I’m really glad I participated in the readathon and I can’t wait for the next one! Did you participate in Bout of Books? Link me up to your wrap up post/video so I can see what you read!

Congrats on what you did read, it was a great job, especially since you were sick!
Thank you! 🙂
Congratulations on completing most of your challenges! We all know you would have managed them all no problem if you hadn’t had that pesky sinus cold. You’ve done really well despite that. I’ve really enjoyed reading your reviews and your updates. 🙂
Thanks, Jo! I think I did pretty well despite the cold.
Also, thanks for keeping up with my progress! You’re the best. 🙂
You’re welcome! It was really interesting to see all the challenges, twitter chats etc that bloggers could get involved in. The blogverse is much bigger than I thought! I love that you spelled out TARDIS. I probably would have gone with Star Trek, surprise surprise! I appreciate that you read my posts too. 🙂
It was so fun! You’ll have to participate in the next one, which is in August. The book blogosphere is HUGE! 🙂
Haha. Had to, didn’t I? Of course you’d spell out Star Trek. What else? Lol.
Good to know, thanks! I don’t feel like I’ve found my blogging rhythm yet, but hopefully I will have by then. It would be fun to get more involved with other bloggers. 🙂
Great job on the challenge. I hope you’re feeling better. The Raven Boys is one of my favorite books, looking forward to your thoughts.
Thank you! I am starting to feel a little better. Thank you.
I’m really liking it so far. Should be done today, so I’ll have the review up later today or tomorrow. 🙂
Well done on the reading/reviewing front! Sinus problems suck (or maybe they blow, depending…) Glad you had good time in spite of it!
Hahahaha. They certainly blow.
Thank you!
