         "The Novice (Summoner #1)" by Taran Matharu {pages 47-201}
Books Finished: None
Mini Challenges: Fictional World Travel
Notes/Thoughts: I had already started The Novice before the Read-A-Thon began. Although I only read off and on today, I really enjoyed what I have read of The Novice so far! It reminds me so much of Pokémon, but in a YA Fantasy world! There are awesome friendships, different levels of creatures, and a brewing war. What's not to love? I hope to finish this tomorrow, since I get the house to myself tomorrow to read but it depends if I get distracted on Youtube again, ha ha! I also managed to complete today's Mini Challenge, and my results are linked above.

Notes/Thoughts: So, I skipped out on the mini challenge for today, but I did end up getting some reading done! I even finished my first book of the ReadAThon, and started the third book of the 100 series by Kass Morgan. Maybe after I finish I'll finally watch the TV show? I didn't have much going on today so mostly I just read my books and visited blogs. Satisfying day!

Mini Challenges: Bookish MASH
Notes/Thoughts: So, I had to do the whole back to school thing today. Not quite back in school yet (thank goodness!) but I found out my schedule, took the yearbook picture, and all that fun stuff. That was really stressful so I was glad to wind down with some reading. I also participated in today's mini challenge, which was a blast to complete. And I finished The 100 trilogy! I can't believe it's over. I always get over emotional saying good bye to series I love.

Notes/Thoughts: Well, that makes it look like I had a very unproductive day. Really, my subscription to National Geographic Magazine came today so I ended up reading that instead of books. I didn't count it because this is technically Bout of Books ReadAThon, and what I read was a magazine, but I did get through 113 of the pages! I also went to see the musical Wicked with my best friend today (it's her favorite) and it was so good!

Mini Challenges: Character Soulmates
Notes/Thoughts: I paid a visit to the library again today, and got a couple more books that I'm super excited for, including Falling Kingdoms. We also got sausage pizza for dinner and it was delicious. Other than that, I didn't do much other than read today. I didn't get a lot of reading done despite that, but I am liking the book so far!

Notes/Thoughts: Falling Kingdoms was such a good book! I finished it today and it definitely reminded me why fantasy is my favorite genre. I have a feeling the rest of this series is going to be even more epic, so I'm excited. I started the Glass Sentence, and while the world is super unique, I am not super into it yet. I didn't get much done today other than reading. I visited a few blogs, but other than that nothing really, and I'm glad for that because it gave me uninterrupted time to read Falling Kingdoms!

Mini Challenges: What To Read Next
Notes/Thoughts: Well, that's a wrap on Bout of Books 14.0! I read more than I expected to, actually, and I did enjoy everything I read very much. I may or may not have a wrap up coming soon as well. I got through a good chunk of The Glass Sentence today, and I think if I had read it maybe three years earlier I would have adored it, but for now it's just okay. Maybe I will like it more as I read more. I hope everyone had an awesome Bout of Books!
