Overall:
I’m pretty proud of myself. I may not have accomplished all of the goals. But considering there were 3 days that I was unable to read at all and I almost hit half of the pages I wanted to during a work week… Yea, I’m pretty happy with that! All-in-all, I had a blast and cannot wiat until the next #BoutofBooks in August! 🙂
