The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 20th and runs through Sunday, August 26th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 23 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
My Goals:
My Official TBR:
- Legion (Talon #4) by Julie Kagawa
- Inferno (Talon #5) by Julie Kagawa
- Shadow of the Fox (Shadow of the Fox #1) by Julie Kagawa
- Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #2) by Ransom Riggs
- Shadow and Bone (The Grisha Trilogy #1) by Leigh Bardugo
- Everless (Everless #1) by Sara Holland
- Furyborn (The Empirium Trilogy #1) by Claire LeGrand
- Ignite The Stars by Maura Milan
So I kept Shadow and Bone, Everless and Hollow City from my original BoB TBR. But I switched up others. I put Legion and Inferno in because I wanted to read them this past week, but didn't get the chance to grab Legion. But I'll have it for BoB so I moved it to my TBR for it. I also started the first chapter of Shadow of the Fox and want to continue it this week, so I moved it to BoB as well.
My Goals:
- I want to read at least 6 of the 8, though all 8 would be awesome!
- Participate in more Twitter Chats and Challenges.

Despite being about halfway through Hollow City last night, I decided I'm going to continue it on audiobook even though it is a bit slower instead of reading the physical book like I planned.

Good luck! I’m doing this readathon, too. I don’t have an official TBR, but I’m going to try to read for 4 hours every day.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks! Good luck as well! I've pretty much changed up my TBR to be books I know I'm gonna get to or that I've already read a chapter or two of and I want to continue. Lol.
DeleteI hope you read all 8 books too!! Good luck with your reading goals, I didn't set a 'tbr' list for this week. I am keeping my reading goals low for this week and hope to read 2-3 books this week. I finished reading Turtles All The Way Down by John Green last night and really enjoyed it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Very nice! Well I'm on track to finish Legion tonight and get a good chunk for Inferno done. I had to wait for legion to come in the mail today. Then I'm already working my way through Hollow City. So so far I'm working towards my goals!
