Bout of Books Goals and Updates

See my daily updates below!

Even though wedding number 2 is now over, there is still much happening this week! However, I plan to fit in some wonderful reading time. Here're my Bout of Books goals:
  • I'm currently halfway done with Words of Radiance (that's 500 pages out of 1000!) and I hope to knock off a ton more pages this week. As part of that, I'd like to write a little halfway post for the read along as so far, I don't think they realize I'm even participating!
  • I need to find and read The Rent Collector since I'll be visiting my mom's book club next week where the author will be speaking. Fun!
  • I'd like to read some easy for fun fluffy books that are on my Kindle. I don't know which ones yet, so this will be a surprise to us all!
  • Scarlet is on my nightstand and is begging to be noticed.
  • As is Days of Blood and Starlight.
  • As far as time goes, I never know what the day will bring, but I'd like to see a good two or three hours every day. 
I feel like if  I can touch on any of those, I'll be doing great!

Here's to reading! Enjoy!

Daily Updates

Monday
Pages read: 15% of an ebook and about 50 pages of the "real" book :)
What I'm working on: Words of Radiance and An Ocean Between Us
What I've finished: nothing yet
Hours read: a couple probably. Sheesh, keeping track of hours is nearly impossible as I read in such snatches here and there!

Tuesday:
Pages read: 13% of the ebook and only 30 more pages of the BIG book!
What I'm working on: Same as before.
What I've finished: Nothing!
Hours read: Only an hour or so. It was a crazy evening (my usual reading time) and I ended up not having time in the afternoon either. Ugh! So much for a readathon week, eh?

Wednesday:

I read a little.

Thursday:

I did not read, except for a bit while waiting for kids at the dentist office.

Friday:

The jury is still out. Maybe I'll read this evening? Updated to add: Yes, I read a bunch more in Words...maybe 50 pages or so?

Saturday:

I bought a new book and started reading it... got about 100 pages in. I'll be meeting this author at my mom's book club this week.

Sunday:

There's still time today, but I've added another 30 or so pages to the "new" book... The Rent Collector. I hope to read a bunch more today, but there is now church, then dinner, then The Amazing Race finale, so it remains to be seen!
