...in books

It's time for a Bout of Books Read-a-Thon!

From tomorrow till Sunday there will be another Bout of Books Read-a-thon hosted by the lovely Amanda from On a Book Bender and Kelly from Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday and runs through Sunday midnight 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. 

Today it's time to write down my goals for this read-a-thon.During the Read-a-Thon week I have one exam on Thursday and need to study for another on next Saturday. So I need to divide my time between studying and reading. On Monday I will be at the David Garrett concert in Vienna with one of my boys, a.k.a one of my best friends, have an exam on Thursday, a party on Friday and will go watch the new Star Trek film with my bestie on Staurday. So I'll keep my goals pretty low and see if I can achieve them. 

My Goals

  • I want to read at least 1 hour a day. 
  • I want to finish at least two books.  
  • I want to visit more blogs during Bout of Books and comment. 
  • I want to enjoy this week of reading, rambling and being surrounded by bookish people.  
As you might know by now, I hate (yes, hate) having to come up with specific books I will read during the read-a-thon and I'm glad that there's no need for me to write them down beforehand. So I will choose them during the week, depending on my moo

  1. I always go 'off list' with my reading because I'm easily distracted ;)

    Good luck with your goals, and your exams!
