I just beat my past personal goal for a week read-a-thon, which had been held by Bout of Books 7, but i snow held by the BookTubeAThon last month (in page count, not in book count). So I'm not sure what my goals will be, I wish I could say to beat that goal for the BookTubeAThon but that's a lot of pressure and I don't like putting too much pressure on myself, like that, during a read-a-thon.
Most of my goals are pretty similar to what they've been in the past, such as:
- Read 300+ pages a day
- Finish, at least, an average of one book a day
- Basically: read as much as is physically possible while also keeping up with my daily writing goals, doing my daily update posts, and not going insane.
- Participate in the Twitter chats! I have high hopes to participate in all of them, hopefully I'll be able to, since I love these Twitter chats.
- Keep up with writing my daily 2k (at least most days)
I think those are my main goals, besides also have fun, don't stress out too much. Flailing, not failing. It's a good thing to remember, keep it in mind. Now, to go onto the actual, physical books, let's see. This is the main reason I didn't post this a week ago, because I wasn't sure what I'd read in that week and, therefor, what would be my TBR for this week.
And my TBR tends to shift and change even after the first day, so I'm hesitating to even post an
idea of one. But I have a few ideas, and I even though I'm know I'm going to break it, I might as well. So, I'm just going to put a picture of a pile and I hope to read enough to fulfill my goals, or at least a few (from pile or not from pile). Also this doesn't include anything I'm currently reading, but - those also.

| These are all books I've just bought, pretty much, and so I'm really exited for which is why they're here. |

| Hopefully a better shot of the novels so you can see the full spine for titles/authors. |
Leave me a comment! Telling me if you're participating in this Bout of Books. Or tell me if you've read any of these books and what you thought or if you're looking forward to getting to any of them.
Wow, good luck with your Bout of Books goals this upcoming round!! I'm participating in Bout of Books 11.0 as well. I'm planning to listen to two audio books.... A novella, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote and a novel,The Son by Phillip Meyer. I'll be happy if I can complete both works in a week.
ReplyDeleteThank you and good luck to you, too. I've always wanted to read Breakfast at Tiffany's, I hope you enjoy it. :)
DeleteWhoa GOOD LUCK! :) I'm also particitpating in this year's Bout of Books and it's the first time I have ever participated in a readathon so I have a question, if you don't mind :). What are "twitter charts" relating to Bout of Books please? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! And no problem: there are times on the blog/website for three twitter chats and they're just chats, on twitter (i know that helpful, hold on), where everyone talks using the hashtag (#boutofbooks), and Kelly or Amanda are running it and asking questions through out. They'll ask one (Q1, for example) and then you'd tweet the answer (no @, just #boutofbooks - and with A1).
DeleteI hope that helps! And I hope your first read-a-thon goes great. :)
Oh, thank you so much! You're such a sweetheart!
DeleteYou're welcome, I hope you join in and have fun! :)
DeleteIt looks like you have some great choices here! I hope that you have a very successful read-a-thon with lots of great books!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI hope you get to participate in the chats! They're one of my favorite parts of Bout of Books.
ReplyDeleteI like how you broke your page count into a daily chunk. That's a good idea!
Good luck with your goals! I hope you have a blast during Bout of Books!
The chats are one of mine, too. And I feel like breaking it into daily chunks makes it seem slightly less daunting. :)
DeleteThank you! And I hope you do, too.
I didn't put Lola on my goals list but I am listening to that too. Well I've been listening to it for the last few weeks, audiobooks take me forever. But it's so CUTE, I love it! Good luck with your goals, at least you have lots to choose from :)
ReplyDeleteAudiobooks take me forever, too, but I'm glad you're enjoying it! It is super books, I'm sure Isla will be, too, it seems to just be part of her style.
DeleteThanks! And I like choices, even if I've already gone off that TBR pile a little, too. :)
