Bout of Books Read-A-Thon 11: Goals and TBR
This Bout of Books came at a perfect time for me since I recently came back from a vacation to Niagara Falls, Ontario and right before I left, I received an omnibus to read and review from one of my favourite authors. While on my vacation I read 0 pages, I’ve been back for a little over 2 weeks and I’ve read about… 60ish pages! I need an extra push to read this because, I’m super nervous since It’s my first time reading a book to review for an author and I can’t seem to find the will to read. It is a 3 book and 2 novella omnibus (of which I’ve only read 1 novella so far) so I really want to get through a bunch of it before the end of Bout of Books. I also bought the 4th book “Ever Wrath” which I’m adding to my list, I really hope I can get through them all or most of them at least!
My Goals:
I Will Devote to Reading…
- Read at least 1 hour or 50-100 pages per day.
- Read the whole omnibus (3 books, 1 novella) and the 4th book in the series.
- To read 667-883 pages throughout the week.
- Write 4-5 reviews during the week.
- Participate in at least 2 Twitter chats.
- Participate in 1-2 daily challenges.

The Dark Reading Room 
Ooh man I can’t wait to do this!! You have no idea how excited I am! I did really well in the last one and hope to do even better this time around! And it started at a perfect time because I work nights all next week! Now do I keep reading the 500 monster ‘take me on’ or put that down and read antigoddess or something totally different? AHHH! I hate decisions!

Haha, Yay, I’m super excited too! Maybe we could do some reading sprints together for fun! That’s awesome, I hope you do better, it’s always fun to set good goals. Ha, lucky you, I just started full time school on Monday so, it’s 10 PM bed time for me every day :(. Oh wow, 500 pages?! That’s a lot! Lol Antigoddess!!! It would probably be a relief for you to finish it already.

I read at night too – I work during the day so I don’t have time – but like you, sometimes I can’t really focus. Hopefully we’ll both be able to stick to our goals next week!
Good luck and happy reading 🙂

Nice, that makes sense, it’s hard to read during the day if you’re working/busy. Though, even if I found the time and could focus, I probably wouldn’t read during the day because I really enjoy reading at night. For sure, always hope for the best! Thanks, you too and thanks for stopping by 🙂
