#boutofbooks Update #5

While I didn't finish anything, nor get anything really completed, I did start reading Vanessa and Her Sister on Friday and am in the process of possibly starting two other books that I am wanting to get done. Thankfully it is the weekend and so I will probably be able to get a little more reading done after a fairly busy week. Maybe I'll stop to watch the series finale of Mad Men this coming Sunday evening and to attend church and to do a few other tasks that I would like to get done.

Here's to a happy weekend of reading....

#boutofbooks Update #4

Thursday was a bit more successful of a reading day, in that I did actually complete a book off my list, All the Bright Places. I don't know how much I will be able to read today, but if things work out, I shouldn't have an issue getting some reading done. I don't know if I will get anything completed, but I'll see.

Book Blogger Hop: May 15th - 21st

The question this week is:

If you see a book you like but see it is 400 or 500+ pages, will you still read it?

Yes I will still the read the book, especially if it is a book that I want to read.

#boutofbooks Update #3

While I did expect not to read a lot today, I did kinda expect to read during the evening. That didn't exactly happen. I didn't sleep well overnight and due to some social engagements I had during the afternoon, I was exhausted. And the last thing on my mind was sitting down and reading. But I did go to the libraries that I have membership with and pick up materials I had requested. The next few days should be better, but sometimes life throws you curve balls that you can't anticipate.

Hope you all have pleasant bookish dreams.

#boutofbooks Update #2

While I didn't read the amount that I had hoped to, I did read a bit more than I did on Monday. The reason for the lack of reading was due to the fact that I was busy for a good portion on Tuesday, cleaning in the afternoon and at my Bible study group in the evening and by the time I got home, I was feeling tired (I didn't finish the movie that I had hoped to watch prior to going to be). Wednesday will probably look somewhat the same, as I have a number of things up in the afternoon, but I am not as busy in the evening and hopefully I can get some reading done then. Thursday through Sunday are much more freer and looks like I will be able to read for most of them. Happy reading.

#boutofbooks Update #1

Didn't read as much as I hoped to; was hoping to complete All the Bright Places on Monday, but due to waking up late and having stuff to deal with, I didn't really read much. I tried to read this evening, but some reason my head wasn't in it. I hope that this afternoon will be a little more productive. And by not reading much, I read like 10 pages.
