Bout of Books 7.0: My Wrap-up Post #boutofbooks




This is my Wrap-up Post for the Bout of Books 7.0 Read-a-Thon!

I finished: 

Written in Red
(The Others, Book #1)
by Anne Bishop
[on my iPod]


I didn't finish:


The End Games
by T. Michael Martin
[on my iPad]


  I started on:

(Coffeehouse Mystery, Book #1)
by Cleo Coyle
[on my iPod]



Even though I didn't manage to finish The End Games, I have about one-third of the book left. If my USB adapter cord didn't conk out on me yesterday, I may have been able to make a further dent into that last bit. Ah, the joys of e-readers! To top it off, I was making excellent progress in On What Grounds and then my iPod just went silent. At first I thought that the battery died - nope, it was still charged. I double-checked the downloaded file on my laptop to ensure that all files were copied to my iPod. Yup, all there. Then, I took a closer look at the files and saw that my last file was Part 52 of 150. Oh, boy - that means that I'm missing Files 53-150!! I emailed the publisher yesterday and received the new download link today but, alas, it was too late for me to make any further progress with that audiobook yesterday. Technology - it's great when it works but when it doesn't...we are lost!


Here are the final tallies for the week:

Total number of pages read: 270 pages   
Total number of minutes listened: 9 hrs, 45 mins, 16 secs  
Total books read: 1 book 
 
Here is the link to my Goals Post with updates.


Thanks again to Amanda @ On a Book Bender & Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal for hosting!

    1. I know! I had to go and buy a new cord to replace this one so that I can charge it up.
