Bout of Books 5.0 Goals

by elizziebooks on August 8, 2012

Bout of Books is a read-a-thon in which book bloggers and such set goals in order to shrink our TBR piles, just a little bit.  The read-a-thon goes August 13 – 19!

TIME DEVOTED TO READING

I will be reading between classes and around classes since it’s my first week back in school (university).  Monday and Wednesday will be “slow” reading days since I have class from 10:00am – 4:50pm with small breaks in between.  Most of my reading will happen Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday (before and after work), and Sunday.

MY GOALS

Five books.

BOOKS TO READ

The Girl With Hair Like the Sun by Claire Mix (Sent to me for review)
The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde (BEA)
Anathema by Megg Jensen (New Adult!)
Zom-B by Darren Shan (Zombies!)
Winning Balance by Shawn Johnson (I’m on an Olympic kick, so deal with it.)

UPDATES

I’ll be updating this post next week each day!  Let’s see if I can make it to five books.  Last time I read seven, but I was basically on vacation.

Good luck on your goal, Anathema looks like a good read. I’m also trying to read 5 books for the read-a-thon.

I haven’t read any of the books in your list but I hope you enjoy them. I usually don’t have much time for reading either. I do mine in the bus before and after work and then before sleeping, which usually leaves me reading till 4 in the morning. :P
Good luck with your goals.

i have not heard of this new Jasper Fforde! I would be wary of reading one of his, though, cause they are so involved and I find he takes longer to read because … but that’s just me. good luck with your goals, i hope the books are good!
