Bout of Books 14
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I’ll be using this post to update my progress all week long.
Time Devoted to Reading
I’ll be trying to read as much as possible this week. I’m a stay-at-home mom to an almost 6-year-old and a 5-month-old, so I’ll basically be reading when my hubs is off of work.
My Goals
- Read all of the graphic novels in my stack. (Since graphic novels are quick reads, hopefully I can meet this one and only goal I have!)
Number of books/pages I’ve read today: 0 books/0 pages
Total number of books/pages I’ve read: 0 books/0 pages

Notes: I was super busy today, so I got absolutely no reading done. :(

Today’s Challenge
Today’s challenge is MASH, hosted by Rocky Top Real Talk.
I loved playing MASH as a kid, and even found a phone app as an adult (which, unfortunately, lost its appeal as an app). Here’s my Bookish MASH:
I’m already married with 2 kids IRL, so I thought I’d use “BFF” as a category and use some of my Book BFFs. I also changed the “Kids” category to “More Kids” because who knows, I may have more kids in the future!
So here are my results:
- My BFF is Simon (from Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli)
- I drive a mini van (no change there)
- I live in Hogsmeade in a shack (Shrieking Shack??)
- I’m a stay-at-home mom (no change there, either)
- I have a pet phoenix
- I have 2 more kids
