My 2nd Bout of Books is over, and I'm not sad about it. Of course I still have to be reading like crazy til the end of the month (the last week of the GoodReads challenge), but I'm going to take more time than I have been for the past 6 weeks. I'm definitely burned out on reading right now, I wanna take a few days off and write some letters or play some video games, or even read a book at a normal pace, not 3-5 a day. :)
Here is my Rambling Post about how I'm able to read so much. I'm lucky my husband works hard so I'm able to stay home and devote tons of time to reading, while I'd change things if I could, I do the best with what I have and enjoy the time I'm able to read!
But it was fun, and I had a great time. I plan on visiting a ton of blogs today, see how everyone did. I hope everyone had a fantastic time of reading, doing challenges and visiting blogs! I look forward to the next BoB in January. :)
How did YOU all do for Bob? Did you meet your goals? Did you read a lot of good books? Did you have a good time?! That's what matters! I hope everyone had a blast! Let me your wrap-ups, and I'll come visit. :) Making my way through ALL the wrap-ups. Have visited all the blogs posted as of now (through blog 164). Will continue to check in and visit all the blogs wrap-ups. :)

ReplyDeleteYou did mahvelous! (Yes, the misspelling is on purpose.) Long distance high five for doing three challenges when you aimed for five...me too! :) I called that good enough. I was more into the reading this time. I think it's a funk after doing so many read-a-thons this summer. Maybe I'll be more of a participant for January's BoB.

ReplyDeleteFIVE THOUSAND PAGES? HOW? OMG OMG!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that there was a comic based on the Arkham game, I'll have to tell the hubs to add it to our pullbox!
