To be honest; this Bout of Books read-a-thon wasn't the most sucessful for me but I managed to not only stick to reading at least an hour but I also kept my priorities in order and studied quite a lot daily. I usually have huge problems see studying as more important than reading but this week I finally managed and this feels like a HUGE accomplishment.
My Stats:
- I read at least an hour a day even on days when I was super busy.
- I finished 2 books (yeah!) - The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis and Cinder by Marissa Meyer
- Thursday (the day of my exam) was my slowest reading day because I did a lot of last-minute studying and on my way home after exam I met a friend on the tram and chose talking to him over reading my book.
- Sunday was my best reading day with 241 pages. I alternated my day between reading and studying (not in that order).
- Overall I read 3 books:
- The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis
- Cinder by Marissa Meyer
- Educating Jack by Jack Sheffield
- Overall I read 813 pages. Now I'm impressed - I thought it would be a lot less.
The next Bout of Books read-a-thon will be from August 19th to 25th

Congratulations on finding balance. I totally blew it in that department. I was too busy reading and did like almost no work this week.
ReplyDeleteI also need to comment on the fact that Gilmore Girls is up there in the banner photo up top. I am watching DVR'd episodes while I am typing this!

I always impress myself more when I look at the final page count instead of just the number of books. You did great! Hope to see you in August! ;)
ReplyDeleteThree books is really good! Especially when you had an exam too, wow! Hope the exam went well, and that you had fun this week. :-D
