B.O.B. 20: Days 5, 6, and 7 Progress and Final Thoughts






Coming at you with three days of updates today!  Hot dog!





Here are my stats:

 Day 5, 6, and 7
Current Read:  Uganda Be Kidding Me by Chelsea Handler (audio book) and March: Book Three by John Lewis
Pages Read:  828 and 1 hour and 15 minutes of audio
Total Pages Read:  1726 and 2 hours and 15 minutes of audio
Books Finished:


Challenges:  None over the weekend.  I worked late on Friday night and then spent all day Saturday snapping and canning green beans, then went to a friend's house to watch the Mayweather-McGregor fight...yay...
Thoughts:  I am SUPER pleased with my Bout of Books activity this round!  While I'll admit that reading graphic novels makes the page count go through the roof, I still feel pretty accomplished with my results AND I knocked a ton of books off my TBR because of it.  Score.  I am so glad that I decided to participate in B.O.B again...it's been several rounds since I've done it.  Until B.O.B. 21!!

Happy reading!

    Looks like you're doing well. Keep it up! The audio must help as well, because you can do other things.

      They definitely help! Though I don't have to spend much time driving on a day to day basis, this weekend did take me out of town for a bit and allowed for a substantial amount of audio book time :) As a whole, the "stick with graphic novels" was the real winner. Thanks for visiting, Nick! Hope all is well.

      I agree! I am obsessed with Saga!! And loved every other graphic novel I read as well. Currently finishing up March: Book Three and it's so powerful. Thanks for visiting, Sarah :)

      Still listening to it, but I am enjoying it. It's the first Handler book I've listened to (I read all the others). I am a fan of her and find her snarky, sarcastic delivery pretty spot on. Thanks for visiting, Sarah :)

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

B is for...Bend

Image
It's day two of the A-Z Blogging Challenge and B is our designated letter today.  Unlike last year, I've decided on a dedicated theme to guide my posts for this month's challenge and have chosen:  sites and points of interest in Oregon .  I sat down last night and filled in my list (for the most part...some of those pesky letters are tricky) with places and things that I think are awesome and must-see stops for anyone traveling through the Pacific Northwest.  So, without further ado, let's get this virtual tour started! Bend, Oregon Technically considered the central point of the state, Bend is a city that is a must for nature enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs.  Nestled in the Cascade Range, it's a vibrant city with the highest population in Central Oregon (roughly 76,000).  Surrounded by high desert and US Service Forest land, the climate is temperate and offers activities year round.  Whether you're into biking and hiking in the summer or skiing an
