Bout of Books Progress for 1/7/17 (Day 6)

It took me all day to get around to updating yesterday's progress because there really wasn't any. I read less than two chapters of Love Walks In by Samantha Chase, and that's it. At this rate, all I hope to accomplish for the rest of day 7 is to finish that book!

Bout of Books Progress for 1/6/17 (Day 5)

This has been a disappointing Bout of Books so far because I have been mostly too sick to enjoy it and too busy to participate in the challenges, but I am continuing to make moderate reading progress. Here's my tally for day 5:

• read Ramshackle Roost by Jane Flory
• read The Lost Umbrella of Kim Chu by Eleanor Estes
• read With a Name Like Lulu, Who Needs More Trouble? by Tricia Springstubb 
• read A Grandmother for the Orphelines by Natalie Savage Carlson

Bout of Books Progress for 1/5/17 (Day 4)

I still have a sore throat, but my children both actually napped after lunch so I was able to sneak in some reading for day four. Here's what I ended up accomplishing:

• finished The One Hundredth Thing About Caroline by Lois Lowry
• read Switcharound by Lois Lowry
• read Your Move, J.P.! by Lois Lowry 

Bout of Books Progress for 1/4/17 (Day 3)

Day 3 was not quite as productive as day 2, in part because I am still fighting a cold. Here's how I did:

• finished Over the Hills and Far Away by Lavinia Russ
• finished The Windy Hill by Cornelia Meigs
• started The One Hundredth Thing About Caroline by Lois Lowry

Bout of Books Progress for 1/3/17 (Day 2)

Despite getting only a few hours of sleep thanks to a sick toddler, and then coming down with her cold myself, I had a decently productive day of reading on day 2. Here's my progress:

• finished Read and Buried by Erika Chase
• read The House of Dies Drear by Virginia Hamilton
• read The Night Swimmers by Betsy Byars
• started Over the Hills and Far Away by Lavinia Russ

Bout of Books Progress for 1/2/17 (Day 1)

This is the first time ever in my four times participating in Bout of Books that I have not finished a book on the first day. It was our last day of Christmas vacation with my husband home, and I had dinner plans with a friend, so lot of my reading time was taken up with other things, but I still expected to have something more to show for the day.

But all I read this entire day was 147 pages of Read and Buried by Erika Chase.

I really hope that I will be able to do better on day two.
