Bout of Books 32 - Day 2

 Bout of Books

The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 16th and runs through Sunday, August 22nd in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 32 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

This will be my third Bout of Books. It's been a few years since my last one, so we'll just need to see how I get on. I will be on annual leave during the week of the readathon so I might get a fair bit of reading done, but at the same time, I have a lot of plans to catch-up with friends after the mess that has been the last year. I think I'm going to aim to read 4 books.

To Be Read:

This is a list of books I picked via the random filter on Goodreads and I'm probably not going to read all of these. And I think my plan is to randomly pick books using random.org to add a bit of mystery to what I'm reading. I think I'm also always going to have 10 books on this list and substitute books in from my TBR as a book is chosen (The Price is Right style haha!) so I never know what I'm going to read next.

Updates:
Day 1:
  • Currently reading - Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell
  • Books read - The Editor's Wife, Clare Chambers
  • Pages read today - 232
  • Total pages read - 232
  • Time spent reading today - 2 hrs 30 mins
  • Total time spent reading - 2 hrs 30 mins

  1. Great progress on your Challenge. Last time I read 1984 was long before the actual year of 1984!

    1. This is my first time reading 1984, and I'm not sure how I feel about it... I think I definitely prefer Animal Farm when it comes to Orwell.
