Bout of Books Wrap Up

Sadly we've come to the end of the Bout of Book 23 and the last Bout of Books of 2018. The next time we do this it will be January of 2019! I cannot even fathom January  at this point. It seems so far away! Imagine we will be through the holidays and into a new year!

Anyway, today I wanted to recap what I read during the Bout of Books readathon. This round of the readathon, in August, is always difficult for me because I work on a college campus. My work is really busy and I work extra hours. I work two weekends a year and the August edition of BoB usually falls on one of those weekends. This year I had a lot more success than I have in the past.

Books I didn't Finish 

On Monday I started Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews. I've mentioned a few times that I am rereading the Kate Daniels series because the final book will be released at the end of this month. We are three days away!! This was a really easy read for me because I've read it once before. Since my brain is mush after work right now, I loved having this familiar story to read in the evening.

I also continued reading Hunting Prince Dracula. I picked this up a few times but ultimately I decided to put this aside during Bout of Books. I wanted to read this when I had time to devote to it and I don't right now!

I also started my annual reread of Persuasion. I downloaded to audiobook to try so we shall see if audio changes my views on this old favorite at all.

Books I Finished:

Would you believe I started and finished an audiobook in less than twenty four hours. I downloaded Alanna: The First Adventure on Wednesday night and since it was only five hours long I devoured most of it that night. I only had 30 minutes when I fell asleep that night. I finished it the next morning while I was eating breakfast. Finishing this book has made me anxious to reread all of Tamora Pierce's books. They were a huge part of my childhood and I enjoyed this reread immensely.
