Books Completed: 
  1. The Devil in the Marshalsea by Antonia Hodgson [BUY] [REVIEW]

Pages Read Total: 1129

My Thoughts on Today: Today was definitely my fail day. I was just in a sulky mood for some reason, and didn't feel like reading. That's bound to happen in a week-long readathon, so I'm trying not to beat myself up about it. Tomorrow is a new day!  

Goals for Tomorrow: Since I didn't read much today at all, it looks like I won't be able to finish Learning to Breathe Fire. My goal tomorrow will thus be to break 1200 pages total for this readathon!

Bout of Books 10.0 | Day 2

Bout of Books
Currently Reading: The Devil in the Marshalsea by Antonia Hodgson [BUY]

Books Completed: None yet! 

Pages Read Today: 174

Pages Read Total: 328

My Thoughts on Today: While I didn't get to finish The Devil in the Marshalsea today, I'm still very happy with my progress. I had a very productive day filled with laundry, housework, and even a book event (more details to come on that), so to read even more today than I did yesterday is great! 

Goals for Tomorrow: I plan on staying up late to finish The Devil in the Marshalsea tonight because I have around 50 pages left and I just need to find out what happens! Then tomorrow I'll reach for the next book on my TBR, and perhaps finish it (since it's a short one!).

Please feel free to share how your Bout of Books is going in the comments!

Bout of Books 10.0 | Day 1

Bout of Books
Happy Monday! This week I'm taking part in Bout of Books 10.0, a week-long readathon where a bunch of readers throughout the world make reading a priority and share their thoughts on bookish things across social media. You can find out all the details on the official Bout of Books website.

What I really like about this readathon is that it's very laid back. There are no challenges and no specific goals. All one has to do to participate is read more than she usually does in a week. As I've just wrapped on my second year of law school, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to jump back into reading before my summer internships get underway. I'll be posting little updates for you at the end of each day to share my progress, but feel free to follow me on Twitter and Goodreads for even more updates.

Day 1

Currently Reading: The Devil in the Marshalsea by Antonia Hodgson [BUY]

Books Completed: None yet! 

Pages Read Today: 154

Pages Read Total: 154

My Thoughts on Today: I'm overall happy with my start to Bout of Books! While I definitely spent time doing other things when I could have been reading, I definitely read more than I usually do in one day! I'm really enjoying The Devil in the Marshalsea as well. It's creepy, and Hodgson's writing makes me feel like I'm watching the story unfold in movie form. Very cool!

Goals for Tomorrow: I would love to finish The Devil in the Marshalsea tomorrow and possibly move on to my next book. Stay tuned to find out what that book will be!
