Bout of Books 39 Wrap Up

 


I always love this first Bout of Books of the year I think it's just a bit of a shame that it landed on the first of January this year. We're always so busy and then I had to go back to schoool so I didn't read as much as I would've liked but still managed a decent chunk of reading to see in the new year with. Let me know in the comments what your first reads/reads of 2024 are!

Here's what I read:

October 2023 Wrap Up: I Was Definitely Overly Ambitious With My TBR This Month!

 Well here's what I read in October, I was so hopeful I would read loads in the last couple of weeks of term and then loads more on my flights but alas, I forgot how tired I would be in both those times and so ended up only watching movies/napping on the flights and listening to just one audiobook in that last week of term despite my best efforts!

Bout of Books 38 Update and Wrap Up


As you know, I was never planning on doing a full week of reading for this Bout of Books Readathon so I did about 4.5 days of reading and managed to read 2 full books and 3 part books so I don't think that's too bad for what turned out to be a very busy week. 

Days 3 and 4 were decent reading days with quite a bit of audiobook reading but not a lot of ebook reading. I read the most of my ebook on the morning of day 5 to be honest!

Bout of Books 38 Day 2 Update

 

Day 2 was meant to be more about being at home and reading the ebooks that were on my list and whilst i tried to read over breakfast out, over lunch at home and in the sunshine I was really struggling to engage. I worked out (whilst vlogging) that it's not the books faults its just because I'm getting ready to go on my trip and I'm really excited and runnighn through everything I need to do and pack in my head. So I leaned into that and just took my audiobook and packed. I know it seems extreme packing on a Tuesday for a trip that leaves Saturday but firstly I'm heading down there Friday morning and secondly, once I get that urge to pack, it just can't be ignored. I listend to a lot of audiobook in the car and in the gym and hopefully now my head is packed I will read more ebook tomorrow. 

First book of the readathon finished!

Bout of Books 38 Day 1 Update

 


Day 1 of Bout of books went pretty well for me... I spent quite a lot of time in the car and so was able to listen to a third of Talking at Night on Audio. I also did some reading over breakfast and some reading over coffee before going to see a movie. You'll have to check out my vlog on my channel in order to find out what I made of the movie...

May 2023 Reading Wrap Up-How Many Books Did I Read?

 We have reached a new month so now it is time to take stock. As I stated in my June TBR, May was a month of reading a lot followed by reading not very much at all. I did Bout of Books in the second week of May and that is where the bulk of my reading took place. I also DNFd a book this month which I haven't done for a while. As always, I will break my reading down into how I read things and also link you to any reviews I have already posted.

 This week went exactly how I predicted it would...I read a lot on bank holiday monday then read some on my commute and then the weekend hit and I did some stuff and slept. But this was how I called it so I'm fine with that! I also had afternoon tea in a library and can I count the reading paper in my reading total because, as we know, that was a lot of words!

Here's what I read this week!

Bout of Books 37 Day 3 and 4 Update


Well day 3 involved going to see the movie of Are You There God, It's Me Margaret so that was a massive win. It meant a little more audiobook listening in the car on the way there as I was stuck in traffic so got an hour plus of that listened to. I also started a new eBook after being very indecisive about what to read next! Day 4 was just a busy one at school but I did listen to some of my pre0ordered audiobook before bed. I couldn't read in any way in the morning because my phone was completely dead so that put an end to my breakfast reading hopes!
