I know this is a day late, but during the weekend I was on a mini vacation with my family that lasted until today. So, I had no computer to write up this post. But on the upside I started and finished a book during the weekend, bringing my overall read books to 4. Yay!!!

Bout of Books Update #5 & 6

So, I didn't post an update for Thursday's reading because Friday I was super busy. I got a new bookshelf and I had to make it and then before I could get to putting the books on it I had to go to a birthday party. The party lasted until 10pm and I was really tired when I got back home. So, no update for Thursday and very few pages read for Friday.

Bout of Books Update #4

Today is the fourth day in the Bout of Books Read-A-Thon. I had a wonderful day yesterday. I started and finished a whole book (admitting that it was a middle grade book, but a books a book). Although I didn't listen to a second of the audio book.

Both  re-tellings of Beauty and the Beast so each one has a romance that develops over time and has characters. Each has characters that change for the better because of their love for the other person.
