I have no goals for this Bout of Books except this: TO READ. I've been in a kind of reading slump, I couldn't read any book in April, so I hope this read-a-thon will help me get through this and catch up on my readings. I will try to stay out of the internet, because everytime I find myself browsing I am just killing brain cells that could be used to read.

This post will serve to register my progress throughout the week. Let the games begin!

Notes: My reading was a bit slow today, because my brain melts with all this heat. But at night I started to really get into the story of the book and if I hadn't had to get up early the next morning I would read it all night. 

Time devoted to reading: 1h45

Pages read today: 15%  (more or less 20 pages) of Elric of Melnibone, by Michael Moorcock

Total pages so far: 50 pages

Books finished: 0

Notes: Today I read mostly in the morning and the book I'm reading is getting really interesting, but I wasn't feeling very productive, so I read a bit less than yesterday. Anyway, I'm done with at least half of the book!

Notes: It seems I am reading less and less, but today was atypical. My mother burned her hand while cooking so I had to do most of the chores and help her with some things around the house, and still manage to work on my thesis. So I read only a little bit at night, before going to bed. Let's see if I can read a bit more on thursday...

Notes: I am almost done with this book, I hope I can finish it on friday. Today was a very busy day and I could only read in the train while going to and coming back fom university, and a little bit before going to bed.

Pages read today: 23% (more or less 34 pages) of Elric of Melnibone, by Michael Moorcock which I finished!

Total pages so far: 119

Books finished: one

Notes: I managed to finish one book! Yay! I could only read in the train and a bit before going to bed because I really wanted to finish the book. I really liked it and I am happy that it seems that I am back on my reading track.

Notes: Today I did some stuff related to a conference in which I will be participating at the end of the month and I took the night to catch up on Grey's Anatomy episodes and watched the season finale. I didn't feel like reading so instead I watched TV.

Total pages so far: 129 pages

Books finished: one, Elric of Melnibone, by Michael Moorcock

Notes: Lazy Sunday... Also didn't feel like reading but I managed to read a little bit before falling asleep.

WRAP-UP!

And it's over again! Another Bout-of-Books has passed and another week of reading has gone. It has helped me to gain a reading routine, since I haven't been able to read since the month of April. I managed to read one book and start another, even though the last two days were lazy days and I didn't read as much as I could have. Anyway, I think the read-a-thon was positive for me and I can't wait for the next one! Here are the stats:

Total time devoted to reading: this read I read a total of 8 hours and 35 minutes. Not bad, since I was reading 0 hours...
Total pages read: 129 pages
Total books finished: just one, Elric of Melnibone, by Michael Moorcock and I managed to start 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke.
