Bout of Books 19 Wrap Up....

Bout of Books


I didn't get as much read as I had planned, but didn't do to bad either compared to my last readathon.

Total Books Started: 3
Total Books Read: 2
Total Pages Read: 380

The Healing Quilt had 310 pages, Love Letters from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn was 50, and then I read about 20 pages of The Outsiders. The next Bout of Books is from August 21 to 27th. I am not sure what will be going on then, but hope to participate. How did the readathon go for you?

Bout of Books 19 Day 5

Bout of Books


I finally completed reading the Healing Quilt yesterday (Friday). It was highly predictable and was so much like the other two books in the series, it was quite a disappointment. I would probably only give it a 2 out of 5 rating.

I am writing this post a day on mid Friday, and I haven't decided what other books to start reading since I have finished the other book. I have narrowed down the options to these books, they are the shortest on my Bout of Books list;

The Outsiders, 179 pages
Love Letters of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, 50 pages
The Letters of the Rozmberk Sisters (Noblewomen in Fifteneenth-Century Bohemia), 98 pages
The Awakening, 208 pages

My next post will be on what book/s I decided to start. I think I might be able to get done with one or two or at least 3 of these by Sunday.

Later on Friday night I ended up starting and finishing Love Letters of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, with it only being 50 pages it was a very short read. I will do more of a review of it next week, as it is a book from my Classics Club challenge.

What a Bargain!


Earlier today I was at the campus bookstore and noticed they had various books on clearance. I ended up getting four classic books for only $1 apiece. Can’t beat that! I lucked out earlier in the week as well, since I was at the county library and got The Outsiders by SE Hinton and The Queen’s Rival: In the Court of Henry VIII by Diane Haeger for only 50 cents apiece. Here is a pic of the books I got today, I only kept one Howard’s End for myself. The other three books I gave to a friend.
