Read-a-thon: Bout of Books 25

Bout of Books Read-a-thon Sign-Ups

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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.

Alrighty!

I'm gearing up for Bout of Books 25, but I have no idea how well I'll do.  In recent years, it seems I tended to fall short of my goals.  And then, the most recent Bout of Books 24, I managed to overshoot my goals by just a smidge.  That's still enough to give me confidence that I'll be able to manage some sort of reading goal.

Had this readathon taken place in April, I would have been done for.

Anyway, I'm going to try to keep this simple once again.  I never participate in any of the mini challenges or surveys--maybe one of these days I will.  But I try to see the week as a double reason for me to reach for a book instead of a mobile game or a YouTube video.

So... moving right along...

Goals

This BoB, I'm reiterating the same goals I had for the last one:
1) Post regular updates, daily... or every other day, maybe.
2) Read at least 3 books.

Wish me luck!

Read-a-thon Hopefuls

I used to always have plans for my tentative readathon lists, but lately it's a little hard to determine which books I'll be getting to by the time the week rolls around.  So I'm going to simply list a few books I'd love to get to, or that I plan on reading this month and see where I'm at by then.

Meanwhile, I will more than likely still be reading these books by the time the readathon week rolls around.

I haven't started listening to The Sittaford Mystery yet, but I've only got about two hours left of Goliath to finish, so I'll certainly be jumping into The Sittagord Mystery pretty soon.
