Bout of Books 14.0 : Update Post

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.


Bout of Books

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
Pages Read - 531

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
Pages Read - 128

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.

Day 3 -

Books Read - 2
Names - Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

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?

    1. I had a very slow day at work. So I could sneak in a bit of reading. But I wasn't so lucky on Day 2. But I've made good progress.

  2. The Hitchhiker's Guide is a fun choice for a read-a-thon! Enjoy your reading!

    1. It's actually a reread. I'd read it when I was a kid, which translates to a long time ago , so I don't feel as guilty to ignore my TBR during a read-a-thon

  6. Assassin's Apprentice (and the entire series of interlinked trilogies by Robin Hobb) is one of my favorite books of all time. I have re-read it many times and it still makes me cry.
    Good luck with the rest of the read-a-thon, and have fun going on adventures with Fitz!

  7. You did so well! I wish I would have gone and seen a moving this weekend but I wanted to catch up on some reading and also my body decided to come down with a fever so my bf made me stay inside instead.

    1. It's ironic that I couldn't get any reading done on the 2 days when I don't have to work. I hope you are feeling better now :)
