The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 18 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

I decided to listen to some of Shiver while I colored.  I also finished The Bear and the Nightingale and started Shadow, Shadow by V.B. Marlowe.  I decided that since I’m on vacation, I should act like it and stop trying to do everything.  Now that I’m doing whatever I want to do instead, I’m getting a lot more reading done.
