24 in 48 Read-a-Thon

Signing up for the 24in48 Read-a-Thon for this weekend. I'm hoping I can actually get a bunch read, as I haven't been feeling up to par lately. Hopefully I'll find some reading mojo during the weekend and get in some good books.

Anyone else joining in? Leave me your blog, and I'll come visit!

Bout of Books 21 ~ Wrap-Up

Another BoB done, and I did pretty well. Funny, I looked at my last BoB and I mentioned coming down with a cold during it, and I started this one with a cold, so hopefully that trend doesn't continue for the next BoB, cuz it sucked. I met my goal and read some good shorter books to get a good start on my Goodreads Goal. It was a good BoB overall. See y'all at the next one.

Bout of Books 21 ~ Day 3

Feels like I spent all day yesterday reading, but I have very little to show for it, with only one book completed. :/ I did read most of a 2nd one but couldn't quit finish it up before sleep took me away. Since I'm still fighting off the last of this cold I didn't try to stay up to finish it. Still, stinks that I felt like I read a lot and only finished the one book.

Bout of Books 21 ~ Day 2

Another day of Bout of Books, not as bad as my Day 1, but just novellas today. A friend of mine introduced me to Quincy Harker, so I read through the first 4 books of that series, I find him quite funny. It was enjoyable and quick reads.

My Reading Goal for 2018 is to read 300 books this year. I didn't make it last year, and that doesn't bother me if I don't, so I'm just aiming for it again this year. Just depends on if I do more gaming or reading, last year I did more gaming, so I didn't mind that I wasn't reading as much. I hope to do a little more reading this year, but still get my games in.
