janeiro 07, 2019
As it happened in previous Bout of Books, in this post I will state my goals as well as update my progress throughout the week.
My goals:
- To read every day for, at least, one hour
- Finish Motherhood, by Sheila Heti and start a new book
My Progress
Monday (Day 1)
Time devoted to reading: 30 minutes
Number of pages read today: 10 pages of Motherhood, by Sheila Heti

Notes: I am almost finished with this book, but unfortunately I didn't have the time to read more than what I have read.
Tuesday (Day 2)
Time devoted to reading: 45 minutes
Number of pages read today: 18 pages of Motherhood, by Sheila Heti
Total number of pages read so far: 28 pages

Wednesday (Day 3)
Time devoted to reading: 40 minutes
Number of pages read today: 23 pages of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland
Total number of pages read so far: 51 pages
Notes: Today I started a new book, but I couldn't read 1 hour straight. I fell asleep really early so I only found time to read while commuting, in the afternoon.
Thursday (Day 4)
Time devoted to reading: 25 minutes
Number of pages read today: 7 pages of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland
Total number of pages read so far: 58 pages

Friday (Day 5)
Time devoted to reading: 45 minutes
Number of pages read today: 16 pages of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland

Time devoted to reading: 1 hour
Number of pages read today: 20 pages of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland
Total number of pages read so far: 94 pages
Notes: I finally managed to read for an hour today! Since it is the weekend, I thought I would even read more, but I ended up organizing my bookshelves, cleaning my home, going to dinner with my parents, so I only read before I fell asleep. Nonetheless, it was a good day :)
Sunday (Day 7)
Time devoted to reading: 1 hour
Number of pages read today: 20 pages of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland
Total number of pages read so far: 114 pages
Notes: I am really enjoying the book I'm reading and I'm glad I could fit in sometime to read as much as I did.
WRAP-UP
It's over! I really enjoyed participating in this Bout of Books because it helped me to regain the habit of reading everyday even if it is for a few minutes. It is important for me to get lost in a book and read everyday and this was a really good challenge to start the year.
My goals was to read everyday for at least one hour and to finish Motherhood and start another book. I didn't read for an hour everyday, but I read everyday so for me I accomplished my goals. It was really important for me to find time to read every single day even for half an hour. On the other hand, I was able to finish the book I was reading and to start a new one which I am loving - The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, by Holly Ringland.
Now, here are the stats for this read-a-thon:
Total time devoted to reading: 3 hours and 5 minutes
Total pages read: 114 pages
