Bout of Books 32 Wrap Up



I had a decent week of reading. I got a little busier than expected with stuff that interfered with my reading but I still managed nearly 2 hours of reading every day. Considering how much I've struggled with reading since the pandemic, I'm calling that a win. 


This week I read for a total of 13 hours and 47 minutes.

I finished the two books I was already reading and finished another one. I also started fourth book. 

Books I finished:
  1. Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd
  2. What Could Possibly Go Wrong by Jodi Taylor, narrated by Zara Ramm
  3. The Housewife Assassin's Vacation to Die for by Josie Brown
Book I started but haven't finished:
  1. Manners & Mutiny by Gail Carriger 
I hope you had a great Bout of Books. 

Here's to doing this again starting January 3rd.

Bout of Books 32 Updates




This post will serve as my update post for Bout of Books 32. I will post my daily reading for Monday through Saturday. Sunday's reading will be included in my final wrap up post next Monday. I don't track pages read because with audiobooks that's just silly. I do track my total time spent reading.

Monday Reading:
I had a total of 3 hours and 13 minutes of reading today
I listened to 1 hour and 21 minutes of my audiobook. I'm listening to What Could Possibly Go Wrong by Jodi Taylor. It's part of her Chronicles of St. Mary's series that is fun time traveling adventure. 
In print, I read for 1 hour and 52 minutes. All of that was in Sarum by Edward Rutherfurd. It's a chunkster that I'm close to winding up. I read it for the first time many years ago and have been wanting to reread is for a long time. 

Tuesday Reading:
Today's reading total was 2 hours and 47 minutes
I listened to What Could Possibly Go Wrong for an hour and 16 minutes.
I read Sarum for an hour and 31 minutes. 
I finished Sarum tonight

Wednesday Reading:
Today’s reading total was 2 hours and 20 minutes.
35 minutes of that was listening to What Could Possibly Go Wrong. 
I started a new print book today. It’s The Housewife Assassin’s Vacation to Die For by Josie Brown. This is a silly fun series. I read this for 1 hour and 45 minutes. 

Thursday Reading:
Today's reading total was 2 hours and 56 minutes.
1 hour and 2 minutes of that was listening to What Could Possibly Go Wrong.
1 hour and 54 minutes was reading The Housewife Assassin's Vacation to Die For

Friday Reading:
Today’s reading total was 2 hours and 12 minutes
1 hour and 9 minutes of that was listening to my audiobook. I finished What Could Go Wrong by Jodi Taylor. Another fun book in the series. I probably won’t start my next audiobook until Monday so that will probably be it for audio for this Bout of Books. 
1 hour and 3 minutes was print reading. I finished The Housewife Assassin’s Vacation to Die For by Josie Brown.

Saturday Reading:
Today was a big bust readingwise.  Just too busy doing other things. I did manage to carve out 1 hour and 6 minutes of reading time. I started a new book. Manners & Mutiny by Gail Carriger is the fourth book in her Finishing School series.
