I think I must be insane, participating in a week long read-a-thon that starts on the last day of the semester. I’m giving myself no time to breathe!
But then, thanks to overwhelming stress due to school this past week, I haven’t read anything in over a week (until today, that is).
It’s time to make up for some lost time!
My review schedule is pretty much screwed right now, so I’m going to take the opportunity to read what I want to during Bout of Books 4.0.
And it will be glorious. GLORIOUS I TELL YOU.
Last Bout of Books, I read 8 books! And I was in the middle of the semester, working Full Time. So since the semester will be over, I’m going to up that goal to 10 books.
Books to Read (subject to change at my fancy)
The Serpent’s Shadow by Rick Riordan- Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols
One for the Money by Janet Evanovich- Someone Else’s Life by Katie Dale
- BZRK by Michael Grant
The Unbecoming of Mara Deyer by Michelle HodkinThe Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee BenderBetween Shades of Gray by Ruta SepetysFated by Alyson NoelThe Stone Girl by Alyssa Sheinmel

Whatcha gonna read first?
I dunno. I might let random.org pick for me.
Can I choose for you?
Hmm. Why does that feel ominous? But since I do want to read all of them, sure. Go for it.
Mara Dyer! I read that one during one of the previous readathons and it blew my mind a little.
Great books my goal is 8 books but id love to do Ten as well
Happy Reading!

I’m stretching a bit, I think. That’s more than a book a day! But I think I can do it.

Oh 8 books wow, I don’t think I could ever get to that number if I tried. Good luck with your 10!

Thanks!

Oh, Mara Dyer! Loved that one, and Noah Shaw is my all-time favorite book boyfriend. I also really liked Someone Else’s Life. Great choices. Good luck!
Reply →
I’m really excited about both of those. Heck, I’m excited about all ten!

Good luck getting to 10, I read that many in a month usually lol. And good for you, reading what you want!

I’m kind of liking this whole “throw out the schedule” think I’m doing right now. I might do it more often!

Good luck with your goals. I’ve only ever read 5, but I’m still shooting for 6. We shall see. 10 is a very impressive goal!
Reply →
I hope you meet your goal!

You read 8 books last time!? I’m jealous! I really hope you can do 10!
I’m jealous of Such a Rush! You should read it first
Good luck!

I’ll get to it, don’t you worry.

If you read 8 books last time, I am SURE you can read 10 books this time. Good luck.
I loved Between Shades of Gray. It is such a great read. You will start reading and before you know it you will be finished. It is that good.

I hope so. The book I’m reading this weekend is pretty dull – to the point where I don’t care if I finish it, but I have to. So I’m really excited to start reading all of these great books tomorrow!

Awesome books on your list. I’ve been meaning to finally read a Jennifer Echols book.
& props to you for having a goal of TEN books. I wish I could read that fast!
Good luck
My readathon goals!

Yay! You’ve read 4 books and so have I… although I didn’t count the 4th one in today’s post because I didn’t finish it until after midnight last night. Just couldn’t cheat! LOL! Happy Friday!

You are getting it!!

OMG I love your layout! And I just read “One For the Money” as well. Stephanie Plum is total nutcase as a character. I’m glad you got as far as you have on your “Bout of Books.”

Thanks! I’m quite partial to it myself.
