Bout of Books #21 - Day 3

I'm afraid I completely forgot about the Bout of Books challenge on Day 1, but I managed to read at least 15-30 minutes before bed. I've mostly read Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes, and I'm 50% finished.

On Tuesday, I worked late and didn't read at all! After working and cooking, I honestly didn't feel like I had the energy to read, which is funny, considering I watched a couple episodes of Scrubs. I could come up with lame excuse that I was unmotivated or too tired to read, but the truth is the only way to read more is to just do it before your brain starts to make excuses.

Here's to more reading later this week. May my excuses be gone, and my eyes be hungry for words.

I'm Joining Bout of Books #21!

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team 

It's been a while since I've done some serious reading, and I would like to read more. So, for this reason, I will be participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon, starting on Monday! My goal is to read for one hour a day. The books on the docket include The Burning Bridge by John Flanagan, the second book in the Ranger's Apprentice serious and Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes.
