Time again for my favorite readathon! I love how Bout of Books stretches throughout the whole week and allows for me to work it around my schedule.
Here is the information you need in case you want to sign up too!
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 26 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
So this post is going to be my base for the week, I will continue to come back and update it each day with my progress (as I already have a lot of posts planned for this week and don't want things too jumbled up). I will also be updating on Instagram @EasternSunset9

Monday
Number of Pages I've Read Today: 204
Total Number of Pages: 204
Time Spent Reading Today: 2.75 hours
Total Number of Books I've Read: 3 (Storyteller, To Build a Fire, Give Me Back My Bones)
Books Completed: 2 (To Build a Fire, Give Me Back My Bones)
Thoughts: Not a great start to my week and I ended up altering my TBR slightly because I didn't get quite as much reading done over the weekend as I would have liked. Oh well, I will continue at it.
Tuesday
Number of Pages I've Read Today: 276
Total Number of Pages: 480
Time Spent Reading Today: 3.5 hours
Total Number of Books I've Read: 5 (Read today: Storyteller, BookCharmer & Lando's Luck)
Books Completed: 2 (To Build a Fire, Give Me Back My Bones)
Thoughts: Did a little better reading today but having trouble focusing on books, first off Munchkin is at work with me all week because camp is over and school doesn't start for 2 more weeks; and second, the air conditioner at the office is broken and it is so hard to concentrate when it is so hot and stuffy. With that said, I am enjoying a couple of the books but really, really struggling with Book Charmer, I may have to consider DNFing it.
Wednesday
Number of Pages I've Read Today: 323
Total Number of Pages: 803
Time Spent Reading Today: 4.5 Hours
Total Number of Books I've Read: 6 (Read today: Storyteller & Treasure Island)
Books Completed: 3 (To Build a Fire, Give Me Back My Bones, Treasure Island)
Thoughts: I did decide to DNF Book Charmer and moved on to a fresh book. I re-started and finished Treasure Island. I was about to give up on that one as well because I wasn't into reading print and the Audible dramatization was just awful, but I decided to return the audible one and pick a new narrator and that was perfect! Now I really need to get going on Save the Sea, Lando's Luck and finish Storyteller!
