Goals and TBR | Bout of Books 12

As you may have read, I'm doing Bout of Books 12! In the past, I've made big lists of books I wanted to read during the week of the read-a-thon, and I haven't quite met my goals. This time around, I'm trying to be more realistic while still pushing myself.

Goals:

• Read two books and one graphic novel
• Participate in at least three challenges
• Participate in at least one Twitter chat
• Make daily progress posts
• Read for at least one hour every day

To-Be-Read:

1. Yes Please by Amy Poehler

 

2. The World According to Garp by John Irving

3. Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale by Joss Whedon, Chris Samnee, Dave Stewart, Steve Morris and Zack Whedon

I'm so excited for Bout of Books 12! Have you signed up yet? What will you be reading?

I'm doing Bout of Books 12!

Bout of Books 12 is right around the corner and once again, I'll be participating! I truly love doing this read-a-thon, as you might have guessed from the last two times.

If you're new to Bout of Books and have no idea what it is, here is the official blurb from their website:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 5th and runs through Sunday, January 11th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 12 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books team

I love the low-pressure nature of this read-a-thon, and the fact that your only real competition is yourself. As someone who loves reading but doesn't really breeze through things, that's a big plus for me. And that's just a small part of what I love about Bout of Books!
