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, Aug 17th and runs through Sunday, Aug 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.
This is my update post for the Bout of Books 14.0
Day 1 -
Books Read - 1
Names - Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
Currently Reading - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Mr. Mercedes was not the kind of fare I was expecting from Stephen King. Though this book did not have King's usual addition of something a little supernatural I kind of liked it.
Day 2 -
Books Read - 1
Names - Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
Currently Reading - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Day 2 was a slower reading day because I was busier at work than I expected to be. But I hope to finish reading Hitchhiker's Guide today.

I read 0 pages over the weekend because this was the one time in the week I could meet up with friends. We went and watched Mission Impossible 5. It was pretty good.
So my Bout of Books 14 update is that I have read
3 complete books and read a total of
1228 pages. Not bad if I do say so myself. What about you. How was Bout of Books 14.0 for you?
