Is it really day four already?? This week is flying by thanks to Bout of Books! I've read and reviewed three books - two more to go! All five of the books I chose to read for this read-a-thon are books I received for review, and I'm happy with my progress. I feel such a sense of accomplishment working on my review pile. :) Next up for me is Santa's Wayward Elf. :D

Ugh, still not doing very well commenting, but I'll soon remedy that! There was a challenge I wanted to participate in but didn't in time. >.< I hope to finish my last two books, although I need to readjust what I'm reading. Instead of reading Santa's Wayward Elf, first I need to read Savor by Kate Evangelista for my blog tour stop coming up on Monday. :D   

Saturday

Books: Pawns (Timeless Games #0.5) by Estelle MacDonald

Total reviews written: 3
Challenges participated in: 0
Number of blogs commented on: 1 (or 2?)

I had to readjust the books I set out to read, remembering I needed to read Savor by Kate Evangelista for my blog tour stop on Monday. I'm currently reading that instead of Santa's Wayward Elf. I'll be finished with Savor tomorrow, so I will have read five books. I think I'll have four reviews done instead of five. I didn't do well at all with challenges and commenting. :( My Chromebook was acting up badly tonight, and I got sick of fighting with it. It was being SO slow and aggravating me, so I figured I should just turn it off and give it a rest, lol.  


Sunday

Number of books I've read today: 1
Total number of books I've read: 5
Books: Savor (Vicious Feast #1) by Kate Evangelista
Reviews written: 1
Total reviews written: 4
Challenges participated in: 0
Number of blogs commented on: 0

Well, I read five books, which was the number I had chosen for my goal. I switched two of them due to blog tours I had scheduled for the week. 

I wrote four reviews, so I'm only short one review of my goal. 

With everything going on, I just didn't have time to participate in challenges and comment on blogs like I wanted. I really regret not commenting on blogs more, and next time I'd like to set the same goal and meet it. 

I did participate in a Twitter chat, which was a lot of fun and met bloggers new to me. We talked about books we were reading and planning to read, and I loved meeting new people. Twitter rocks!

If you participated in Bout of Books, how did you do with your goals? :)
