Monday Maunder: Bout of Books 10 Results


Another week, another readathon, another pretty good week of reading!


Last week, I announced that I was participating in yet another readathon, this time Bout of Books.  I had pretty reasonable expectations considering that I'm spending a lot of time on Armchair BEA these days and we ended up taking a little road trip over the weekend.  Let's start with taking another look at my original goals . . .
  1. Listen to at least 6 hours of my audiobook.
  2. Read a minimum of 600 pages.
  3. Participate in at least two online chats. (I'm shooting for one Twitter party and one Google+ on-air chat.)

So, how did I do?!?  Here is a quick rundown on my stats . . .
  1. Audiobook Total:  6 hours, 4 minutes - GOAL COMPLETED!
  2. Total Pages Read:  589 pages - CLOSE ENOUGH!
  3. Participated in portions of two online chats, one Twitter and one Google+ - CLOSE ENOUGH!

Overall, I call that a success!  

For those curious, here are the books I read . . .
  1. Batman:  The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb
  2. Batman:  The Black Mirror by Scott Snyder
  3. Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris (still amongst the pages)

Did you participate in Bout of Books?  How did you do?  If not, how was your reading this last week in general?
