I exceeded my goals for the Bout of Books, finishing the 5 books I had started earlier and reading an additional one (completed books listed in bold).  I also read more than 100 pages each day, ending up with over 1000 pages for the week.  Next time, I will try to visit more blogs and maybe do some challenges.  It was fun knowing over 1000 other readers were participating in this event!
