Bout of Books 8.0 | Wrap-Up Post


Bout of Books 8.0 has ended. :( All good things must come to an end, right? I had a great time this week reading with some bloggy friends. It was so fun to encourage one another and tweet back and forth all week to see how we were all doing!

(Bout of Books 9.0 is January 6-12, so go ahead and plan to join us. You know you want to!)

Here's a quick recap of my reading this week!

My goals were to ...
Read 1600 pages
Finish 4 review books
Finish 2 non-fiction books (1 is audio)
Comment on at least 5 blogs each day

 How did I do?
Read 1540 pages, 4:16 hours of audio (est 1716 pages total!)
Finished 4 review books!
Finished 1 non-fiction book!
Yes ... that's 5 books total!
Read bits of 3 other books!
I didn't really comment that much or participate in the challenges this time.
