Bout of Books Update: Day 1 (Monday)


It's day one of the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon. I've been hanging out reading for a decent portion of the day. Darian managed to get his homework and chores done and join me for a bit until he started nodding off after dinner. So...before he heads to bed, we've decided to do today's wrap up and challenge.

Elle's Current Stats 



When I Read Today: Between 2pm and 6pm; 8pm and continuing...

Other Things Accomplished Today: Went to work, got rolling on an office website, some housework, made dinner. Managed to squeeze into a pair of jeans that haven't fit for at least four months. There's muffin top, but we'll pretend there isn't. My zipped up hoodie covers it, so I'm calling that fine for now. It's been a decent day, all things considered.

  1. Sounds like both of you of are off to an awesome start! :D
    I hate that "I really want to read more but can't keep my darn eyes open" feeling.
    Good luck to you both today! Happy reading!

  2. That's kind of where I was last night... wanting to read, wanting to go to sleep. In my case reading won out, since I was only close to the end of my book and determined to finish it!
