Bout of Books 21 has come to an end. Here are my final reading totals for the week.
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
GOALS
- Finish reading Lailah (The Styclar Saga #1) by Nikki Kelly.
I finished Lailah!
- Read daily.
There was one day I did not get to read anything since I was sick.
- Finish 2-3 more books this week.
I finished 2 more books!
So I guess not too bad. I accomplished 2 out of 3 goals so I call that a win!

Today’s notes: Well, today was my least productive reading day by far. My little one and I were sick today, so I didn't get any reading time in.
My name is Vanessa a.k.a. Queen Alchemy. I am a 30-something-year-old mother of four nerdy, fantastic children. We live in the Midwest. I have a reading addiction, and I hope that I never recover! I'm the hugest nerd you can find with interests not limited to the following: comics (Batman and Captain America for the win!), science, computers, zombies, unicorns, Harry Potter, cartoons from the 80's & 90's, Frankenstein, history, crafting, cooking & baking, Star Wars, digital scrapbooking, D&D, Minecraft, Hello Kitty, horror, metalcore, royalty, tattoos & piercings, bright colors, and so much more!
Great job on your accomplishments! You totally killed it this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I did much better this time around that I have on previous BoB attempts! =P
DeleteExcellent reading! Nice book choices.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteWOOT CONGRATS, VANESSA! <3 I didn't do the challenge myself since I'm a slow reader and cannot take pressure at all, but you did great finishing three books! What did you think of The Cruel Prince? :)
ReplyDelete- Aimee @ Aimee, Always
Thank you. I actually managed to do fairly well this time around on Bout of Books, but attempts in the past have not been so fruitful. =P I am the same way in regard to pressure, but on the other hand I am a challenge fiend. Go figure. =]
DeleteOMG, I loved The Cruel Prince! I haven't actually read many books where fae are involved, other than Sarah J. Maas and Cassandra Clare, so this book was really an eye opener for me. I loved the world so much. If anything, reading this has opened me up to reading more fae books. I am thinking of trying The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. Do you have any recommendations? What did you think of The Cruel Prince?
