Bout of Books 8.0 Wrap Up


Time Devoted to Reading:

Like with the last read-a-thon, I didn't devote any specific time to reading. I just read whenever I could throughout the day and it worked out pretty well. I think if I tried to force myself I probably would decide not to read. It's easier for me not to schedule reading time.

Goals:

My goals this time were to read eight books and to visit a few more blogs. I did visit a few blogs but I probably should have left more comments. Those comment sections can be a bit tricky at times. I did pretty good with the books despite a few being bad reads.


Books:

The books I chose were:

- James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing (James Potter book #1) by G. Norman Lippert

- Nancy Drew: The Bungalow Mystery (Nancy Drew #3) by Carolyn Keene

To Kill a Warlock (Dulcie O'Neil book #1) by H.P. Mallory

- History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Volume #10 by Syun Matsuena

- Kieli Volume #2 by Yukako Kabei

- Opposites Attract by Nora Roberts

- D is for Drama by Jo Whittemore

- Wonder Woman: Sword of the Dragon written by Laurie Sutton with artwork by Dan Schoening


Despite running into a few bad reads, I still enjoyed challenging myself with the read-a-thon. It's fun. I haven't decided if I will sign up for the next one but I probably will.

I also just tried to read whenever I could. I think it's more relaxing than having more specific goals and I had a lot of fun that way :) I hope you enjoyed bout of books too!

I did have fun and thank you.

Scheduling just felt too I don't know structured. I like to read whenever I can. Like you said it's more relaxing that way.

My first Bout of Books I had some pretty specific goals, but this time they were very loose (no number of hours or pages or books to shoot for, just read when I can). I think next time I'll aim somewhere in the middle.

That sounds like a good plan. Good luck with the next read-a-thon, Charleen.
