Bout of Books 11: Goals

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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Bout of Books is a week away—woot! I've been thinking about my goals and what's manageable for me in a week, and here's what I've come up with:

Goals:

  • Read as much as possible, putting off non-essential tasks to take some time and just enjoy reading for a change.
  • Update progress at least three times during the week.

Books:

I'd love to finish 3 books during the week, but considering how tough it is for me to read 1 book in seven days' time, we'll see how it goes with 2, lol!

    That;s going to be my plan too, just forget about anything that I don't need to do and just read. I'm hopping to get three books read, maybe four if I pick good books that I can power through. I want to catch up on my Goodreads challenge.
    Good luck on your goals :D

      Thanks- good luck to you, too! :D I'm also looking to catch up on my Goodreads challenge; I'm 6 books behind right now and hope to lower that number next week.
