Overall I am pretty happy with my showing in this cycle. There was one book I read some of but DNF it; had I not spent time on that book, I think I could have knocked out one more. At least I have half a book to read this week. I read almost 900 pages in one week - pretty damn awesome. Anyway, time to gear up for my summer reading project.

Cycle 28 is fast approaching! 

But first.....

The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 11th and runs through Sunday, May 17th in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are daily challenges, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For Bout of Books 28 information and updates, visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I am not doing a TBR for this readathon, since I will still be playing Snakes and Ladders. 

I want to participate in the chats and the IG challenges.

And that's it. Keeping it simple and focused on reading.
