#BoutofBooks – Day 3

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 27 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

I read most of It Looked Different On the Model by Laurie Notaro before I realized I had already read it. Oh well, I’ll finish it anyway because it’s hilarious.

Not only did I finish The Minimalist Way by Erica Layne, but I also finished two audiobooks, Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde and The Whispered Word by Ellery Adams. The Boyfriend went out with friends last night after work, so I had the apartment all to myself (and the cat).
