Bout of Books 7.0 is upon us! I haven't taken part in this particular read-a-thon before, but since I enjoyed Dewey's (my first read-a-thon ever!) so much, I thought I might as well do this one. I'm super excited!
I'll be putting all of my goals and updates into this one post just to keep things neat. I'm not sure which challenges I'll be taking part in, but my main goals are to read at least four books, and to chat with the rest of the readers who are taking part this week! I can't wait to dive right in.
Goals
So, here are the ten books on my Bout of Books list. I'm definitely not expecting to get to all of them, but I want to make a dent in this pile and I like to keep my options fairly open. All of these are for review apart from one (How My Summer...), and they sound AWESOME. There are a few contemporaries in there which I think I might be able to fit in between some of the sci-fi or dystopian books, just to switch it up a bit. Eep!
When it comes to reviewing, I want to review three of the ones that I read, as well as take notes for the rest. I think I'll probably take notes via Goodreads updates or something to make it easier.

If you are taking part in Bout of Books 7.0, let me know! I'll probably be updating my Twitter regularly. Also feel free to link up your own goals posts in the comments and I'll come and check them out. I'd love to know what your goals are!
10 books!! Good luck.. one year I made a goal of 5 books. Then I calculated the number of pages and the number of hours I would have to read and in the end it didn't happen! LOL!

DeleteKnowing you, 10 books won't even be an issue hahaha. My list currently consists of 4 so um. Dare You To is also on there because I'm currently reading PTL (FINALLY I KNOW) and I'm loving it. And I'm excited for you to read most of these! Aaaand I'm rambling. Adios amigo!

ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed The Summer I Became a Nerd! It wasn't terrible, thank goodness! Thank you!
DeleteI am such a slow reader that if I get four books done this week I will be maga impressed with myself! I am also hoping to read Dare You To- I have big expectations when it comes to that book. Good luck this week!
