Read-A-Thon Day Six Wrap-Up (Bout of Books 7.0)

Today might have been the least reading I've gotten done all week, well, it feels like it. And I'm pretty sure it's true. Anyway, I did get some reading done today. And finished two things, a book and a novella/short story. And onto the actually stats!


Number of books I've read today: 2

Total number of books I've read: 16

Books:
Disney at Dawn (Kingdom Keepers #2) by Ridley Pearson
Bioshock Infinite: Mind in Revolt by Joe Fielder

Books currently-reading:
Haven't really started anything, but have my "start next" books, which are Judgment in Death and book three of Kingdom Keepers.

Number of pages read/listened to(today and total): 221 and no audio
Total: 3,091, same as before (3hrs, 30mins)

Notes:
I was out most of the day, so I sadly didn't get too much reading done, but I did get a book. I finished Disney at Dawn pretty early in the day and it was really good, I'm planning on reading at least some of book three tomorrow.

Also Mind in Revolt was very short but also very good, I'd really like to learn more. Bioshock is one of my favorite games of all time, and Infinite was amazing in it's own right, so freaking good, such a good story. Anyway, though, Books.

I don't know anything to do but read, so I'm hoping I can get a lot done. Sadly it is the last time. This week has flown by, I hope I get back to it! Also, I had set my reading goal for 50 books this year, and I'm already at 49, so I'm assuming I'll hit it and maybe go over it tomorrow.

July TBR

Now, I don't normally do TBR posts, but I do make lists and try to stick to them. Sometimes I really well and sometimes I fail miserably. However, I'd like to get into the swing of posting them up so that you may tease me when I fail, because that's just how that works. Now, normally this would be posted right after the wrap-up, but I just thought of doing this 'officially' so here it is now. Obviously, I've already read a lot of these books, and I'll label them if I have.

For July:


  • Desperate Duchesses (Desperate Duchesses #1) by Eloisa James (finished)
  • God Save the Queen (The Immortal Empire #1) by Kate Locke (finished)
  • Grim by Anna Waggener (finished)
  • The Iron Duke (Iron Seas #1) by Meljean Brooke (finished)
  • Heart of Steel (Iron Seas #2) by Meljean Brooke (finished)
  • Nine Rules to Break When Romances a Rake by Sarah MacLean
  • Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey (About 60% done)
  • Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (about 50% done)
  • Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey
I've already read so many books this month catching up on my 100 book challenge after being away for BEA and then VidCon. And I want to read many more. I've been reading Kushiel's Dart for what feels like a very long time, but it is 900 pages so I guess that shouldn't be surprising. There are a lot of books listed up there, but I might end up adding/subtracting some. It all depends on my mood, normally.

The romance books you see above are not my normal cup of tea, but they're for an online book club I'm part of (check out my post about online book clubs if you're curious.) And so far, I'm liking them. I haven't started the Sarah MacLean, but Eloisa James' writing was surprisingly very good. (Also, did you know romance is the number 1 best selling fiction genre? So why are people so embarrassed that they read it? Maybe because of how awful the covers are, because some are just truly awful. I'm sorry, but they are).
