Anyways there's another Bout of Books coming around starting up next Monday! Here's what Bout of Books is about if this is new to you.
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 26 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
I haven't participated in Bout of Books in probably over a year but I really need a kick in my butt to read more so I'm hoping this is it. I looked back today over what I had read so far this year on Goodreads and of the thirteen (absolutely pathetic number for me!) books I've reads of far this year almost half have been for my book club, almost another half was nonfiction (mostly parenting books) and then only two for fun books I picked out for myself! I am just sadly not making the time for so many of the fun reads on my list so I'd like to spend this Bout of Books enjoying some new fun books I've had on my TBR list for awhile.Here are a few I'm looking at:
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling
- Love and Friendship by Whit Stillman (based off of Jane Austen's Lady Susan obviously)
- Farewell to the East End by Jennifer Worth
- At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon
- Daddy Long Legs by Jena Webster
- The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
- Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
- Wonder by R.J. Palacio
I also need to work on finishing up Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clark. I've really enjoyed it but I haven't picked it up in awhile.
Obviously I won't get to all of these but I'd like to get to a couple of them. My little Hobbit thankfully still takes a good 2-3 hr nap in the afternoon which gives me some time to read though I normally fritter it away looking at my phone or watching Midsomer Murders. Sometimes napping. This pregnancy has been exhausting and I need the rest!
I'm hoping to keep up a bit more with blogging... hoping. I do love it. I do keep up with y'all's blogs still! Sometimes when I can't get out to keep up with my real friends it's nice to keep up with my virtual friends. So see ya'll in the blogosphere.
And yeah, you read that right, I'm pregnant! 😁

For my entire life, I felt that luck wasn't on my side. I played the lottery time and again, hoping for a change that never came. Everything changed the day I heard about Priest Alaska, a spiritual guide known for attracting good fortune and clearing blocked paths. I got in touch with him, followed his instructions, and used the special numbers he gave me. I still had doubts... until the results came in. That day, I won 14.8 million pounds. My whole world changed in an instant. I realized that luck wasn't against me; I simply needed the right energy and guidance. If you feel stuck or unlucky, don't lose hope. Priest Alaska can help you, too.
