Bout of Books day 1

Bout of Books

I didn't think I would get much reading done today as most of the day was taken up with graduation. Traveling to pick up the relatives we were driving down. Travel time down to the UIC Pavilion where my  University was holding the ceremony. A 2 hour wait time that would have been perfect for reading except my nook was too big to have with me as we couldn't have any purses or bags with us on the floor of the pavilion for safety sake. 

However, when I got home, I was able to read a bit. I finished up the last 40 pages of Finding my Prince Charming by J. S. Cooper. I think that I got this as a freebie on the Barnes &  Noble site.  I didn't care for it that much. I liked the idea of the story being told from both the main character Lola's viewpoint and the love interest Xavier's viewpoint. However the back and forth between her point of view and his view was a bit jarring to me as a reader.

Bout of Books 16

I plan on  taking part in the 16th round of the Bout of Books read a thon. I'm not sure how much I will get to read on Monday the 9th as I will be taking part in the graduation ceremony for Northeastern Illinois University and finally earning my bachelor's degree in early childhood education almost twenty years after graduating high school!

However I do plan on reading as much as I can the rest of the week between polishing my resume and submitting job applications to nearby school districts :)
