Bout of Books 29 Wrap Up

-

Good morning! I just finished participating in my first Bout of Books Read-a-thon!  

 For my first time, my goal was to take the experience in.  I did not want to spend my week stressing about meeting specific goals.  I simply tried to participate in as much as I could.  

 I participated in as many "reading in place" challenges as I could (for a total of 263 pages read).  This event happened to align with vacation days I had already planned.  I also participated in 6 of the 7 daily Instagram pic challenges and one of the Q&A's on Twitter.  I loved connecting with new people and their book recommendations.   

 Here are my stats:

 Finished: Camino Winds by John Grisham and Normal People by Sally Rooney.

 Started: 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand.

 Made Progress: The Husband's Secret by Laine Moriarty on audiobook.

 Bout of Books 30 starts January 4, 2021, I hope to see you there! 

 What are your reading goals for the week?
