Bout of Books 7.0

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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

Well folks I’m participating again 🙂 I AM going to succeed in my goal this time! I have so many books that I have on my list to read by the end of May so I’m going to use BoB to put a huge dent in that pile.

Goals

My goal is to read 5 books from this pile:
This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith(for readalong)
Reboot by Amy Tintera
Golden by Jessi Kirby
School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins(started at 35% completed)
Dare You To by Katie McGarry
Afterlife Academy by Jaimie Admans
Night School by C.J. Daughtery
The Program by Suzanne Young
Crossing the Line by Katie McGary
Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

 I will also be checking out the challenges as well as hopping around to different blogs to comment & check out progress! Those are not set goals this time because my main thing is to get as many books read as I can!

I will be updating my day to day progress so be sure to check back and also please link up with your goal/starting line posts !!!

Wrap Up

Well… guess what guys? Bout of Books 7.0 is over!! And… I didn’t complete my goal *cackles*. I’ve decided that the next time I participate I am not setting goals, I’m just going to read, read, read and see where that takes me. That being said I still accomplished a lot and I’m proud of what I did!

• Finished School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins(started at 35%)
• Started and completed Crossing the Line by Katie McGarry
• Started and completed This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
• Started and completed Golden by Jessi Kirby
• Read up until page 237 in Clockwork Prince
• Finished 10% of Parallel by Lauren Miller
• Finished 10% of Night School by C.J. Daughterty

So… I did get a ton of reading done just not the “5 books” that I set out to do. Regardless it helped me get ahead 🙂

How did you guys do in Bout of Books 7.0??

Happy Reading 🙂
