Bout of Books 32 update post.

Bout of Books Goals:

 I will be working on my currently reading list on goodreads this week, and may pull some other books if needed/ I feel like it. These are a mix of bookcrossing registered print books, books from my PC, and audiobooks that my husband and I will be listening to together.

To Be Read: 

Day 1: 

My sister is still visiting for the first time since 2019. a little bit of the audiobook was listened to while driving around to visit and have dinner. 2 hours of listening done today

                                                    Day 2:

	Last day of my vacation. Today I read about 150-ish pages and finished the in progress book from my TBR pile:
	Elengil and I spend almost three and a half hours listening to our audio book:

Day 3:

Today I stayed home sick. I caught the worst summer cold, and have had a super sore throat and congestion and a low fever. So, today was spent in bed with tea, theraflu cuddly cats and a print book as the screen illumination was hurting my eyes.

	I got a lot of reading done and finished the other in progress book from my TBR pile.
	I added a book to the TBR pile:

Day 4:

Still home with a cold, didn't sleep well last night, so I read some today, but mostly slept and zoned out with low mind energy computer games.

	I picked this up and read 148 pages this morning. Still home with a cold, and still not super focused due to it. This is comprised of short essays on writing children's books by many different children's book authors, so I don't feel bad setting it down if I need to.
	I have read about 36 pages of Stars of Fortune today

Day 5:

Today I ended up staying home again, as I couldn't stop coughing, and had not slept well last night. Thought I was going into work, instead I read 119 pages of Stars of Fortune. I had forgotten how much I like Nora Roberts writing style.

 

Day 6

----------------------------------------------

Today was a day spent waiting to see a Dr. at the Urgent Care Clinic nearby as I was unable to get in to see my normal Dr. and staying home that third day resulted in some paperwork needed for returning to work. The wait was long, so about an hour got listened to in the car of Starlight Enclave with Elengil, and another half hour while running errands on the way home. ---------------------------------------------- I took part in some of the reading sprints on the Bout of Books Discord server while actually waiting in the waiting room, and then read again after we got home and finished Stars of Fortune. I'm glad I have book two waiting here to get picked up, and book three on the way.

 Day 7

	Due to my napping all afternoon/evening I found myself awake in the early AM hours. So I picked up this moving graphic novel memoir about the artist/author's life after losing his home in the 2017 Sonoma County fire that happened during the California firestorm in September of  2017.
	I finished the last half of this collection of essays about children's books and the children's book publishing industry during the morning/early afternoon reading sprints on the Bout of Books Discord Server.
	I started and finished this during the early afternoon reading in place sprints on the Bout of Books Discord server.
	Elengil and I are listening to this together.

Finished Reading:
