The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team.

A week later and the Bout of Books has come to an end. With only a few hours left, I thought I should get my wrap-up in. To say I am chuffed with oneself is an understatement! I read 6 books this week which lately is unheard of for me! Here is what I read! As always, clicky the images for Goodreads.
A graphic novel, an audiobook, a novella and 3 full length books! I am very happy with myself indeed. If anything, I just feel accomplished for reading Allegiant. I started it six months ago after being majorly spoiled. I was bogged down by all of the hate and spoilers and was in now mind to read it. I picked it up for this and I read it in 5.5 hours. It goes to show that you need to be ready for a book sometimes!
Well done! I think I’m out of rut, yknow just in time for starting back at uni woo, I’m getting in the habit to read every night before bed which helps a lot.

Typical isn’t it? Now we won’t have as much time with uni work!
I need to get back in to that habit! I usually end up on Youtube or Netflix!
Thanks for stopping by :3 xxx

That’s awesome that you read that many books! I read two but it was a laid back week for me, no stress 🙂 Did you like Legend? I’ve been debating on reading it.

Sometimes no stress is the best. I have not read a book since this was posted so I have been breaking too!
I loved it! Such a quick dystopia with huge themes! I recommend it wholeheartedly!
Thanks for stopping by! xxx
