I'll Tumble for YA: Bout of Books 8.0 Monday Results #Boutofbooks

8/20/2013

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.

Time Spend Reading: I have yet to figure out a way to account for this, so I am going to go with 5 hours?

Pages I Read: @190 in my ARC of This Side of Jealousy (The Innocents #2) by Lili Peloquin

Plus: @ 11 pages of a book I'm reading on Wattpad The Bad Boy's Girl by JessGirl93. This is the first book I've ever read on the site, and it's really cute so far. I definitely have some recommendations, but it's promising so far, and I don't feel like shooting myself in the brain.

Number of Books I Read: Almost done with my first!

Blogs I Visited: 0. I was busy!

Twitter Visited: 0. See above

Bout of Books Participation (not reading): 0. See above.

Other Comments: I'm glad that my first book is almost done. I had read about 40 pages of it on Sunday before this started, and at this moment I only have about 10 to go. The next book is on deck and ready to be cracked. Really though, the goal today is a little less reading, and a little more visiting and participating. Which I am attempting below.

Bout of Books Tuesday Challenge: Re-Title It Challenge

= Secrets, Lies, and Love

I'm actually using the old cover for this for a couple of reasons. One, this is the cover that is on my ARC, and two, I like this cover more than I like the final cover.

Congrats on the first day being good! I got very sick and couldn't read as much as I would have liked, but I still read a decant amount of pages.
Now I"m just hoping I won't get any sicker, or else this read-a-thon is going to go down hill fast.
Good luck with the rest of the read-a-thon :D

Congrats on a good start! I read a lot yesterday but didn't really get round to visiting a lot of blogs, which I'm trying to change today as well. :)
