January 2019 | #24in48 Readathon (26th - 27th)

This is going to serve as my announcement and, probably wrap up, post for this readathon. Ideally I'd like to update every few hours, but I have a feeling I'll be doing that on Twitter and Instagram since that'll be easier for me?

If you're confused - the 24in48 readathon is a weekend long readathon in which you try to read for 24 hours total during the 48 hours of the readathon. I've never made it but, either way, I always love taking part. And this round, like all others, I'm still going to try to get to 24. I'm going to be probably relying on audiobooks for part of the time, along with manga.

I don't think I'll hit 24, because I'll also begin to prepare for a trip I'm taking soon, but either way I love this readathon a lot. It's one of my top ones, and I always love participating!

Bout of Books 24 | Goals, Stack, Update Post

Another January, another bout of books. I'm going to be trying to implement a few of the goals I'm aiming to complete in 2019 - get back into graphic novels/comics, romanceopoly, and also just making reading more of a priority. I'm going to be trying to read every day in 2019 and it'll be great.

The Goals

• Read! Read! Read! But also have fun
• Finish some of the books I've been currently reading for forever
• Finish at least one comic/graphic novel
• Visit blogs and cheer on readings on twitter/instagram

The Stack

• The Red Threads of Fortune by J.Y. Yang
• Toil & Trouble edited by Tess Sharpe (friday update: almost finished! less then 100 pages left)
• A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole
• The Red Threads of Fortune by JY Yang
• From Scratch by Katrina Jackson

Notes:
Uhhh... so one of my friends may have been like "you wanna try Talisman digitally?" and it's not like I could say no. I still haven't missed a day in 2019, though, of reading something. Hopefully Tuesday will go better, but also I'm being visited by a puppy.


Tuesday
Number of books I've read today: 1
Total # of books I've read: 1

Total Time Spent Reading: 51 minutes

Once again, not much reading done, but I really loved Red Threads, and just been loving this series so much. It's so good, I highly recommend.


Wednesday to Sunday
Number of books I've read in these days: 9
Total # of books I've read:10
Pages read: 2,752
Total # of pages: 2,863
Total Time Spent Reading: 9 hours, 36 minutes


Notes:

I'm not listing all the books because I'm tired but I've got to tell you - starting to reread Fruits Basket is possibly one of the best things I've ever done. I reread this series whenever I feel like it, which tends to be every 2/3 years, and it's still always so good.

And then also From Scratch by Katrina Jackson was amazing, seriously I loved it so much, and then finally finished The Red Threads of Fortune by J.Y. Yang, it was also amazing.

Now tell me about your reading from the week - if you were taking part in this readathon or not.

Bout of Book 24 | Announcement + TBR plans

Another January, another Bout of Books! And, yes, I haven't really posted here in months and months, and I'm planning on putting a post up about what's been going on - mostly just life. However, bout of books is soon enough this is going up first.

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 24 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.
- From the Bout of Books team

Join me and a bunch of other people in starting the reading year off with a bang! I normally have a vague TBR plan and this year is no different. I don't have specific books in mind but I'd like to finish as many books as I'm "currently-reading" as possible. I have a bad habit of starting books and then putting them aside to read something else. And I've got literally probably two dozen, if not more, books that I've started and just haven't finished yet.

And, also, hopefully I finish my first romanceopoly book this week and can start my second one next week. (One of my 2019 reading challenges, that post will be up soon as well. As long as everything goes as planned).

If you're taking part, please let me know in the comments so we can cheer each other on! And, also, let me know your reading plans.
