Howdy folks,
It's January 12th and already I have completed one of my 2015 resolutions! That resolution was to participate in one Read-a-thon! From January 5-11th I participated in (as you probably know) the Bout of Books 12.0 Read-a-thon! My goal was to read five books this week. Let's take a look at how I did.
Books I completed reading during Bout of Books:
Stats time!
Lock In by John Scalzi—337 pages
Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King—326 pages
Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger—202 pages
Amulet Book One: The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi—192 pages
Amulet Book Two: The Stonekeeper's Curse by Kazu Kibuishi—224 pages
Captain Marvel: Down by Kelly Sue Deconnick—150 pages
That's, ahem, SIX books! So yay! I met my goal!
Books I read during Bout of Books but did not complete:
Stats Time!
Magyk by Angie Sage—100/564 pages
This books I DNF'd. There was nothing inherently wrong with it, but I either just don't
enjoy middle grade books, or I wasn't in the mood for one. I'm glad I gave it a try though.
Fables: Storybook Love by Bill Willingham—30/190
I read the first issue of this volume. I'm still reading it!
Jackaby by William Ritter—123/299 pages
I'm still reading this one; I just haven't finished it yet!

Bout of Books Challenges & Twitter Chats:
I wish I had participated in all of them! However, I did participate in a couple! I did two of the challenges—the Day 4 challenge and the Day 7 challenge. The Day 4 challenge was to create your own short synopsis! The final day's challenge to create your own fiction dysfunctional family! I also participated in two of the three twitter chats and it was a blast!
Overall I think this was a successful Read-A-Thon! How do you think I did? Did you participate in Bout of Books 12.0? If so, how did you do? If not, do you think you will participate next time?
Let me know in the comments!
