The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 8th and runs through Sunday, May 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 19 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
Time for another edition of one of my favourite readathons.
Bout of Books is here once again and I cannot wait to share the next week of reading with everyone taking part in the event.
I’ll be using this blog for the majority of my updates during the read-a-thon, but you can also find me on Twitter (link in the sidebar).
Time Devoted to Reading
Half an hour per day, minimum. Maximum? Well, there’s no limit really.

- To maybe start a new read (but as yet I have no idea what that will be)
- To keep track of my reading progress via daily blog updates
- To visit other blogs and comment regularly

Updates
Monday
Bout of Books time! I’m hoping to get some reading time in this afternoon.
Tuesday (Monday’s Progress)
Had a decent afternoon of reading and managed to get through 50 pages. I think I’ll probably finish The Aeronaut’s Windlass before the end of the readathon, but at the moment I have NO idea what I fancy reading next. Hm…
Number of pages I’ve read today: 50
Total number of pages I’ve read: 50
Wednesday (Tuesday’s progress)
Not such a great reading for reading today, but at least I managed a few pages.
Number of pages I’ve read today: 10
Total number of pages I’ve read: 60
Thursday (Wednesday’s progress)
I’ve had so much to do today that I haven’t managed to read a single page. I don’t think I’ve ever read so little during Bout of Books before!
Number of pages I’ve read today: 0
Total number of pages I’ve read: 60
Friday (Thursday’s progress)
At last, I have some reading progress to report. I finished reading The Aeronaut’s Windlass this afternoon, and really enjoyed it. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I have a review up on the blog.
And I finally settled on something new to read, based on nothing other than of all the library books I currently have checked out there is now a request on Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty, so I’d better get started on that as it will have to go back.
Number of pages I’ve read today: 65
Total number of pages I’ve read: 125
Saturday (Friday’s progress)
Another pretty slow day of reading. At least I have the weekend to look forward to.
Number of pages I’ve read today: 0
Total number of pages I’ve read: 125
Sunday (Saturday’s progress)
Managed a lovely long reading session today, which saw me through the first 100 pages of Apple Tree Yard. I missed this when it was on tv, so have little idea what to expect as the book synopsis was pretty vague. Hopefully I’ll be able to read for a long time on the final Bout of Books day and really get into my book.
How is everyone else doing so far?
Number of pages I’ve read today: 100
Total number of pages I’ve read: 225
Monday (Sunday’s progress and final thoughts)
