Bout of Books - Monday

Report on day 1 of Bout of Books 7.0

I checked out 3 new blogs including Book Blog Bake which I will be visiting again. I was drawn to this blog because of the title and I really liked what I found. The reviews and other posts are thoughtful and well written and there are some interesting serial posts (take a chance on a classic is a great idea). The design of the blog is attractive and easy to navigate.

I got in about 90 minutes of audio-book listening (Bill Bryson on Australia) between commuting, running some errands, and my lunch break.

After dinner TRR read 95 pages of his book and I finished the Alan Bradley novel   I was working on. Next up is an Agatha Christie novel.

  1. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoy the rest of the read-a-thon! Is that one of The Flavia de Luce Novels? I have the first one but I haven't read it yet. I hope you are able to meet your goals!

    1. Yes, this is a Flavia de Luce. I just got my review posted. It is an excellent series and the first book is one of the best.

    1. That is dreadful! I can understand the temptation though. I had a roomate in college who would walk around town (and this was in NYC!) reading her book. She did occasionally walk into stuff, but luckily never anything too damaging. Happily I really like audiobooks so I am saved from these dangers.
