Bout of Books 15: Wrap-up!

Bout of Books 15 is over!! :( Though I did not get much reading done, I am terribly sad at the prospect of having to say goodbye to such a wonderful read-a-thon for another few months!

» Bout of Books 15 Wrap-up «

TBR:

✓ Finish The Wondrous and the Wicked by Page Morgan — Because I was already about halfway through this book when Bout of Books began, this was a fairly easy goal to complete. I adore The Disposessed trilogy and The Wondrous and the Wicked was a great conclusion!

✓ Read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis — This book was less than a hundred pages and took only a few hours to read. I loved it.

x Read Illuminae by Amy Kaufman and Jay Kristoff — Much sadness that I was not able to read this book. I tried - I really did - but I needed to pick up something else for an English class, so Illuminae was pushed to the side. Hopefully I can get to it soon!

An unexpected addition to the TBR...

1. The Fall by Bethany Griffin — I had to read this book for school, so it took priority over any other reading material that I had planned to pick up during Bout of Books. I did not manage to finish reading The Fall before the read-a-thon ended, but I was really enjoying it!

Stats:

Overall, I didn't do too poorly considering I had a 13.5 hour day of work on Saturday and a Crap-ton of homework to do on Sunday.

Here is a full list of the challenges that I participated in:

▫ Bookish Would You Rather?
▫ Book Rainbow
▫ Villain Mash-Up
▫ Bookish Scavenger Hunt
▫ The Comfy Reading Spot



Did you guys participate in Bout of Books? How did you do? Let me know, and we can discuss our reads/pine for the next BoB together!

BoB 15: The Comfy Reading Spot

Today's Bout of Books challenge is "The Comfy Reading Spot," hosted by Once Upon a Chapter! For this, we must post a picture of our favorite/comfiest place to read!

 

This chair is my preferred reading spot! It comes with a blanket for snuggling, a pillow for quick naps, and is near a window - which provides the perfect amount of reading light.....

.....however, most of my reading is done in bed. I usually work during the day, so by the time I get home, all I want to do is cover up with some heavy blankets and read until I am too tired to keep my eyes open.

BoB 15: Scavenger Hunt

Today's Bout of Books challenge is "Scavenger Hunt," hosted by The Book Monsters!

1. Bookshelves:

A glimpse at two of my main bookshelves.

2. A book you're planning to read/currently reading for Bout of Books:

 

I am currently about halfway through The Fall by Bethany Griffin and am thinking about picking up The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe later tonight.

3. A book and a beverage:

Doctor Pepper and The Fall.

4. Blue books:

5. Cozy reading spot:

My favorite reading spot! Unfortunately, I don't get to use it very often, as most of my reading is done either at work or in bed, just before I go to sleep.
