Bout of Books 7.0 (and goals)!

I’ve always wanted to participate in Bout of Books or even just a read-a-thon so I’m glad to finally be joining in one. I’m so behind in my reading and think this is the perfect opportunity to play catch up and have fun but also without being stressed out. In case you’re not familiar with Bout of Books, here’s the low-down:

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.  

Now that you know all the details, I’d like to present you with my goals and what I plan to read during the read-a-thon. Since I don’t want to put too much strain on myself to read ALL THE BOOKS, I want to keep it pretty simple. The main thing for me is to have fun and that's what I plan to do.

Goals
- Read at least 5 books - Titles TBD
- Participate in 2 challenges
- Participate in 1 Twitter chat
- Chat with other participants & discover new blogs.
