I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon Goals

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon


Bout of Books
Read-a-Thon

August 13 - 19

(and why did I think this was 14 - 20?)

I do have RL plans for this week but no wedding to attend or trips coming up. Plus I'm still trying to be offline so even with lunches, shopping and starting a running program, I should be spending a lot of time reading.

This is where I'll update my reading but I'm sure any challenges I complete will have their own pages.

Time Devoted to Reading

I'll spend some time reading each day

Good luck with your goals and have fun! That's a great list of books and Bout-of-Books is a great way to clear out some good reads. ;)
