Read-a-thon: Bout of Books sign up and goals

Bout of Books

 

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Yeah, I am definitely joining in on this read-a-thon. I have so many books that I need to tackle and get knocked off of my TBR list. Goals to follow.

 

My Goals

  • Read at least 100+ pages a day
  • Write a review for every book that I finish
  • Finish my resume (personal goal)



Books to Read

If I could actually get all of these read, I'd probably go on a book shopping spree just to celebrate.

 

 
 
 

 

 

What are your goals?

    Great goals! I forgot to put one about writing reviews - I'm 50 books behind, I probably should have a goal for it! :) I want to read Ten Tiny Breaths and start the Lux series! I totally agree, if I could read all the books I *want* to read during the read-a-thon it should be rewarded with buying some more books!

    Have fun!

    I've been wanting to read Ten Tiny Breaths! I love Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I hope you like both and all the others you read! I don't think I'll even try to write reviews until next week, I might make posts for them with bullet points then fill them in later! That will be good for me, haha.

      Bullet point post might help. I usually have to write 'em up fast or I don't get them done. It does take time away from reading though.

      See ya throughout the week.

    I loved Ten Tiny Breaths. I'm actually in the process of trying to get my thoughts down in a review.

    Good luck with your goals!
