Once Upon a Read-a-Thon [day 1]: intro & goals

Well I have a glass of wine in my hand right now. So maybe that explains why I am signing up for ANOTHER read-a-thon right on the cuffs of ending the first. I mean, I just typed up my finale post for Summer Lovin'. Or maybe it is because I still have goals that I need to reach (I did sign up for a two week challenge and I only have 2/10 books read)...so here I am signing up yet again for (my now 2nd ever) read-a-thon.

Okay, okay... I am not fooling you. They're a lot of fun too!

So I am entering the Once Upon a Read-a-Thon. It lasts from July 8th - July 10th. If you are interesting in signing up too, more information can be found here.

Hello hoppers! Thanks for jumping by!

Me cheesin' it up.

Goal: 1 Book

Well coming off that last read-a-thon, I learned not to over shoot my goals. So I am shooting low this time, especially since I have to take a couple exams, spend 5+ hours in lab, and babysit between now and the 10th.

Sooooo... My goals are as follows:

• Finish reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson (I'm currently on page 77).
• Start Mind Games byKiersten White.
• Write a review for I'm Not Her.
• Give a reading update at least once.
• Particpate in at least one challenge.
• And continue with season 4 Grey's ;)

Two halves make a whole...right

Read-A-Thon Day 1: Introductions

This read-a-thon is hosted by Read-A-Thon Central. I am excited to get started reading. Here is my introduction:

Tell us a little bit about yourself – Where are you from? What’s your favorite genre? What got you reading? – Be creative and show your individual personality!

We’d also like to know – What are your goals for this read-a-thon?

First, Hello everyone that is hopping by! And welcome to Book Beats! I'll try to keep this introduction short and sweet so you can be off to the next blog.

My name is Jenna and this is my first ever read-a-thon. (Well if you don't count staying up most of the night to read a book for class --which I don't cause it wasn't fun). Since this is my first, feel free to leave any tips in the comment sections. Especially about this twenty-four hour business coming up at the end of the week.

 

 

 

I am starting my goal at five books. The first book I am wanting to tackle is Dessen's Along for the Ride.

 

 

 

 

Leave a link to you intro page and I'll be sure to hop by there. Also, if you're a new follower let me know that as well and I'll be sure to follow back.

Happy Reading!
