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 finished Pippi Longstocking while I was running errands and preparing to go back to work. After that, I got in my pajamas and read a bit of The Mermaid’s Sister before going to sleep.
I’m a little bit surprised that I didn’t read more than the last Bout of Books, especially considering I was on vacation this time. I still feel like I’ve accomplished something and it’s a great start to 2017. I can’t wait to get the reviews written so I can see my Netgalley ratio go up.

Looks like you did well in this round of BOB!! I’m impressed with your reading stats!! I completed my reading goals for BOB and then some.
I also had fun participating in a few of the readathon challenges and posting comments on other people’s blogs throughout the week.
Have fun reading the rest of the year and hope to see you in the next BOB Readathon!!
I’ll definitely be participating in the next BOB, though I probably won’t be able to take vacation again.
Wow – it sounds like you had a successful read-a-thon experience!
