I can’t believe Bout of Books 14 is already over! My fourth time participating in the week-long readathon was a blast, as always, and I’m sad to see it go! BUT now I have a reason to look forward to January! I’m going to do a little wrap up of what I read and the challenges I participated in this week.
Total number of pages read: 1,354 (WOOOO!)
What I read this week:
- The Curious Tale of the In-Between by Lauren DeStefano
- The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich
- The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
- Wherever You Go by Pat Zietlow Miller
- Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty
- The Rose Society by Marie Lu
- These single issue comics: Robin: Son of Batman #2, We Are Robin #2, Prez #2, Thor #8, Bat-Mite #1 and 2
My favorite read of the week: Hands down, The Rose Society. It’s almost not even fair to the other books.
Challenges participated in this week:
- Fictional World Travel Challenge
- the MASH challenge
- #4SeasonsBooksCovers challenge
- Road Trip Challenge
- What to Read Next Challenge
Other notes about the week: I’ve got to say, I’m pretty impressed with how much I read this week while working a full-time job, a part-time job, blogging, going to a book festival, and sleeping. I’m also really happy to say that I liked every single book I read, which is awesome. All of the challenges I participated in were super fun and different. I got to participate in the Twitter chat on Saturday, which was overwhelming and wonderful, as always. I can’t wait for the next round of Bout of Books.

Super late on this, but YAY, you did great, especially with a jam-packed schedule! 🙂
