The One Where I Make Reading Goals for a Bout of Books

IT'S HEREEEEEEEE!!!

My original Sign Up Post for information about Bout of Books 10.0

Time devoted to reading:

No idea. Pretty much I'm just going to read whenever I feel like it and whenever I have time. 

Goals:

3 books

As you can see, incredibly lofty goals. HA! First off, I'm a slow reader. Secondly, I get distracted by TV. *Shakes fist at Netflix!* Maybe I'll up it later on. 

I also hope to participate in some challenges and twitter chats (though I am NOT savvy when it comes to twitter). 

Books to read:

Currently reading - 

The Falconer by Elizabeth May 

I've been waiting for this book FOREVERRRRRRR! Well, maybe not forever but it feels like it. I'm only 4 chapters in and she's already killed a faerie. Yup, I think I'm gonna love this. 

Other than this, I'm not sure what books I'll read. I'll just have to wait till I finish the Falconer to see what I feel in the mood for. Here are some options:

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutokoski

I've heard some awesome things about this book and I read the first couple sample chapters and loved it! Hopefully it stays up to the hype!

Poison Dance by Livia Blackburne 

Is it cheating to read a Novella? Oh well! I'm so excited for this one! Ahhhh! Blackburne's novel Midnight Thief is a book I've been waiting for. ASSASSINS! That's my weakness in books. When I got this one to review I was jumping for joy! It may only be a novella but I've heard some awesome things about this short book. And.....WOOHOO! ASSASSINS!!!!!!

The Diamond Thief by Sharon Gosling

I just got this one from Netgalley so I really need to read it. Gotta get that number up! Also....THIEVES! Thieves are along the lines of the whole assassin obsession. They're not quite as high on my list, but I can't help but like em. I've heard some mixed things about this book but I'm looking forward to it anyways! 

Instead of just having one post where I update, I'll make a new post daily with how much I read, what I read, what I finished, and my thoughts and feelings about what I've read. Now, 

GO FORTH AND READ MY FELLOW LOVERS OF BOOKS!

The One Where I'm in a Bout of Books

So....this is a bit of a last minute decision, but a good one at that! I have officially decided to join the

Bout Of Books

Yes, yes, hold the applause. I know how incredibly dull it would be without me and my humor so I have deemed this read-a-thon worthy of my presence. Also, it gets me reading, so there's that. 

Never heard of the Bout of Books or am curious about joining? Here's a bit of info: 

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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

  This is a last minute post so it's nothing fancy. I'll add my goals and all to a post tomorrow. Make sure to look for daily updates on my progress! 

Also, 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

To all you wonderful mothers out there - we thank you. All of you are fantastic and amazing and the world would be a crazy (and nonexistent) place without you. Continue to go forth and be your awesome selves.
