B.O.B. 15: Progress Day 6 (Updated)

Bout of Books 15 Progress

To keep track of my progress for the challenge, I will be updating this post, periodically, listing what I'm reading, what I've finished (if anything), pages read, challenges completed, and thoughts on how the event is going for the week.  Here we go!

Day 6 Progress
Current Read:  Winter by Marissa Meyer and Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
Pages Read:  178
Total Pages Read:  695
Books Finished:  Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K Vaughan and Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
Challenges:  Again, none :(
Thoughts:  One more day left and I want to get some massive reading done.  Tomorrow will be interrupted by cleaning the house, laundry, and going to look at a house for sale.  We'll see how much I actually get done.

Day 5 Progress 
Current Read:  Winter by Marissa Meyer and Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
Pages Read:  136
Total Pages Read:  517
Books Finished:  Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K Vaughan and Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
Challenges:  None...I'm really failing at challenges...
Thoughts:  Despite my non-participation in challenges this latter half of the week, I'm feeling pretty decent about my reading progress. 

Day 4 Progress
Current Read:  Winter by Marissa Meyer, Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling, and Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K Vaughan.  I'm feeling ambitious, evidently.
Pages Read:  82
Total Pages Read:  381
Books Finished:  Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
Challenges:  I totally meant to do the challenge, but time got away from me and before I knew it...well, you know how it is!
Thoughts:  I can't believe that we are halfway done with the challenge and I've only completed one book!  I'm hoping to really buckle down over the last few days and get some reading in. 

Day 3 Progress
Current Read:  Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie...so close to being done!
Pages Read:  92...not as good as day 2, but still not shabby.  I felt like I read so much more!
Total Pages Read:  299
Challenges:  None.  I got very busy yesterday...and I also didn't find the challenge to be something I wanted to participate in very much due to the fact that my spare room is a disaster and it would be too difficult to forage for books that worked in the chaos.
Thoughts:  Fingers crossed that Day 4 goes better than Day 3...and so on and so forth!

Day 2 Progress
Current Read:  Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
Pages Read:  158...much better than Day 1
Total Pages Read:  207
Challenges:  Would You Rather...
Thoughts:  A much more productive day in terms of participation and reading.  Yay!  And all of this done with a massive headache at the end of the day/evening.  And, of course, I stayed up way too late reading my little heart out.  On to day 3!

Day 1 Progress
Current Read:  Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie
Pages Read:  49
Challenges:  None...today was a bit crazy at work with the delayed start due to weather and the fact that today was the first day of term.  Lots of people needing help navigating campus...and life in general.  Plus, the challenge wasn't really a challenge; more so a participation in introducing yourself.  Twitter's still waiting ;)
Thoughts:  Honestly, today was an incredibly slow reading day for me.  I feel like I'm still recovering from the massive reading I've been doing over the holidays and I haven't really picked up a book in about 3 days.  I know!  Shocker!!  I'm hoping that I get my reading mojo back soon...

Happy reading, fellow Bout of Bookers!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

L is for...Lighthouses

 It's a schizophrenic Saturday here in Oregon (what's new) and we're strolling in to the halfway point of the A-Z Blogging Challenge.  Today's letter brings us to a feature that many states along the coast possess and something that I've always had a fascination with... Lighthouses There are eleven total lighthouses along the Oregon Coast.  Nine were built for maritime purposes, five are still in operation, and two were privately built.  Of the eleven, nine of them are on the National Register of Historic Places.  There are five lighthouses that offer tours to visitors and each has a unique history.  Some even have sordid pasts and rumored ghosts that roam their buildings.  As a heads up, I apologize for the length of this post. From the north heading south along Highway 101, the lighthouses are as follows: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is the furthest north and located near Seaside.  It is deactivated and the only lighthouse built offshore on a

C is for...Crater Lake

Image
Nearly halfway through the first week of the A-Z Challenge and we are to the letter C.  I hope everyone is plugging along nicely and not feeling pressured yet!  Today's letter is representative of... Crater Lake I love Crater Lake .  It's beautiful, fascinating, and awesome.  Located in Southern Oregon, Crater Lake is a body of water that has formed inside the remains of a once active volcano in the Cascade Range.  The caldera formed by the massive eruption of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago is now filled with crystal clear blue water and two islands; the main one being Wizard Island.  Fed only by rainfall and melting snow, the water is completely replaced every 250 years and one of the purest bodies of water in America in terms of absent pollutants.  The park is open year-round and visited by nearly half a million people annually, but many roads become impassible during the winter months.
