My Goals for this week are:
  • to read more pleasure books – which are books I don’t have to read for university or review copies
  • to dedicate more time to reading at home – I usually read on public transport and I would like to specifically dedicate more time to reading at home which means I will have to prepare all my stuff I need for work for the next week today.
and one goal which would be amazing if I could reach it is:
  • to read at least three books this week – I have a lot to do next week (uni, work, studying – exams are coming up) but I know that I usually read more when I have a lot to do. So maybe this goal is reachable. I will try my best.

I don’t want to post a complete list of books I want to read because I am more this “have-a-look-at-my-bookshelf-and-pick-the-book-that-appeals-most-to-you” girl. Which means that I often plan to read a book but than it doesn’t fit my mood on this special day so I put it back and start another one.
 Have you signed up for it yet?

  2. My read-a-thons usually come as a surprise even to myself. I get caught up in something and stop sleeping altogether. But an organized one? I'm not sure...
    Thanks for stopping by.
    Followed you!
