Welcome to my Bout of Books 16 Update Home!
Here you'll find my daily stats, links to posts and challenges, and other info that pops up throughout the readathon.
I'll also likely post my thoughts on the day, and maybe some pictures too! (we all know I am snaphappy)

I didn't really read today... when I got home from work we immediately started working on expanding the chicken coop run. By time I got to sit down and read, it was bedtime and I was exhausted. Made it through 3 pages before falling asleep (to only be woken by the hardcover book hitting my face).

I didn't read at all Friday... I had a busy day at work then came home and our new bed was delivered! Bear was helping a ftiend move, so I unloaded the bed and built the box spring... then had to take my baby girl to the vet. Bear and I then had a nice little date night at Los Tapatios, a delicious authentic Mexican restaurant!

Another busy day! Woke up early and loaded the Jeep with construction debris and did a dump run... then spent the day finishing the extra coop run. Afterwards, Maddie came over and we went to TRex Planet (awesomesauce!) & dinner. Super good day. Tons of TRex Planet pics on my insta... go check them out.

Had a relaxing Sunday.... did some things around the house, work for my PLC group and some grading. Got to read a little from a pleasure book and from a work book study book.
Bout of Books Recap:
Well, Bout of Books has come to a close. I didn't get nearly as much reading as I had hoped, but that is okay. It turned out to be a much busier week than I had originally anticipated. I finished a book I had started earlier this month (The Sound of Gravel) and really enjoyed it. I am 35% finished with Rarity from the Hollow (finding this more difficult to get through than I had expected) and I also read a bunch from my work bookstudy, Mindsets in the Classroom (a book I am thoroughly enjoying).
>>> Overall, I read 199 pages in 3 different books. I finished 3 challenges.
So, how did you all do with BoB16? Even with my lackluster reading performance, I am still glad to have participated!
write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow
Hmmm, The Sound of Gravel. I havent heard of that book before, but ill look it up. Looks like we've done about the same amount of reading. :) Good luck on the rest of the days.

It's a very interesting memoir! Tough to swallow at some points.
DeleteI think we're pretty close to each other for page count. :/ Hope you can get some pages in today!
ReplyDeleteYeah, turned out to be too busy of a week! Hopefully both of us do well today!
