Bout of Books is back, I absolutely love taking part in this read-a-thon, not only is it a way to tackle my big pile of books I've been neglecting, but it's also a fun way to get to know other book enthusiasts. The last couple of times I took part in Bout of Books, I've started off really well, but then got a bit off track, but hopefully this time I'll be able to achieve my goal. Once again I couldn't decide on which books to go with, and of course it all depends on my mood, which book I normally go for, but here's the handful of great books I'm going to be choosing from and from here I want to read at least three (I've been slacking reading books lately, so if I complete this goal, this would be an achievement for me!). 



I'll be posting my updates on this post here, my Instagram profile here and my Twitter profile. I'm planning on reading Every Last Word with Emma from Never Judge a Book, so I'm really looking forward to that! If you're taking part in Bout of Books, link me up with what you're reading below. Good luck everyone!

Bout of Books is back for another read-a-thon which starts on Monday! I am super excited to be taking part in this read-a-thon once more, firstly because I always have so much fun taking part; getting to know other bloggers and readers through the chats, completing new challenges every day and pushing myself to read more than what I normally would (which hasn't been a lot if I'm honest with myself) so this read-a-thon couldn't have come at a better time. I've picked the following books that I will most likely be reading over the next week (this list could change depending on my mood), but I have heard that a number of these books will evoke all the feelings, which I'm quite happy about!. 

Goals:

To read at least three books this week.

To take part in one Twitter chat

To complete three challenges

To comment on at least five new blogs each day

To have fun!!

I really want to get to know more enthusiastic readers like myself this time, its always great when you get chatting to someone who likes similar books to yourself or even will be planning to read the same books as you. I shall be updating my progress on this page every morning. But you're likely to find my most current updates on my Twitter profile here and see some neat photos of the books I'm reading on my Instagram profile here. If you're taking part in this Bout of Books leave me a link to your goals in the comments. And I'd love to know what you think I should start off with first!

Hey guys so its time for another Bout of Books Read-a-Thon! This seriously has come around at the right time for me, as I've been in a reading funk for a while now, and I'm super behind on my reading goal on Goodreads, so what better way to have fun and read all the books! And that's what Bout of Books is about reading books and having fun, (I think this is like my 4th Bout of Books I'm taking part in). Here are some of the books I'm planning to read. I also have copies of Sarah Alderson's newest releases Come Back to Me and Out of Control, which I hope to read too.

MY GOALS

To read at least three of the books pictured or listed above.

Take part in one Twitter chat

Complete two challenges.

I have some pretty neat books to look forward to, so will hopefully be able to meet my goal of reading three books. Bout of Books isn't about the pressure to read all the books, but I love chatting with new people during this read-a-thon and discovering new books. I will be updating my progress on my Twitter here and on this blog post. Of course being the reader that I am, I will most likely have some hot drink to keep me company, so will be sharing my reading updates on my Instagram here. If you're taking part in Bout of Books I'd love to see what you plan to read, so feel free to leave me a link in the comments. Good luck!

End of the year Readathon: #ReadingCram

End of Year 2013 Read-a-Thon #ReadingCram is hosted by Jenny from Juliababyjen's Reading Room and Dana from Dana Square and will run from the 9th of December to the 22nd of December.

Why should you participate? 

1. To chisel off some of your TBR pile. 

2. Do all the fun challenges and win some prizes. 

3. Encourage others to read like a speed demon (and yourself) + reading with others is loads of fun. 

 So let's get in our last books of 2013 together in the #ReadingCram !

This is reason enough for me to participate! Also books off my tbr have been severely neglected. Here are a list of potential books I am hoping to read (only four review copies!)

Pawn by Aimee Carter | Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott | Afterparty by Ann Redisch Stampler | Night of Cake and Puppets by Laini Taylor

 The Sound by Sarah Alderson | The Love Detective by Alexandra Potter | Diary of A Crush: French Kiss by Sarra Manning | What Goes Around (What Goes Around and Some Girls Are) by Courtney Summers | Bruised by Sarah Skilton | Pivot Point by Kasie West.

I won't finish from work until the 14th, so I'm not sure how much reading I will be able to get done in the first week, but by the second week, I will hopefully get more reading done. 

My Goals

To read at least four books from the books above and to participate in at least three challenges. 

There is still time for you to sign up for this Read-a-Thon, by clicking on the image at the top this will take you to the sign up page. Also I will be updating my progress on my Twitter profile here. If you're taking part in this Read-a-Thon too feel free to leave a link to your goals, I'd loved to see what you plan to read. And if you're not taking part in this Read-a-Thon and have read any of the books above let me know which I should get to first.

Bout of Books 8.0

Upcoming Read-A-Thons

You guys know how much I love my Read-A-Thons, I love being able to put a dent in my tbr pile, I love getting to know other book bloggers and readers in the process, and I love being able read what I want and how much I want no pressure. I actually had three Read-A-Thons that I signed up to. I'm currently taking part in the Debut-A-Thon hosted by Books of Amber. I've read All Our Yesterdays so far which I loved and started Infinite Sky yesterday.

For my upcoming Read-A-Thons, there is still time for you guys to sign up (by clicking on each button this will take you to the sign up page). I've decided to go for a stack of books I've been meaning for a while, or books which my blogging friends have been praising highly for so long. These are the books I have in mind. 

Friday Brown by Vikki Wakefield  | Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys  | The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater | The DUFF by Kody Keplinger  | Over You by Emma Mclaughlin & Nicola Kraus

The books I pick up however are often dependent on my mood, so I will try to tackle some of the above books, but may read some not in this reading list either. I am really excited to finally start reading some of these books. If you're taking part in any of the upcoming read-a-thons above let me know, I'd love to see your updates. 

I will most likely be updating my read-a-thon progress on my twitter profile which can be found hereor this update page. 

Monday:  
Pages read: 35% of The Truth About You and Me by Amanda Grace.
Books read: 0
Challenges Completed: 2

Cover to Cover Blog Mini-Challenge:

Which book are you most excited to read in the coming year?
I can't wait to read Just One Year by Gayle Forman. I loved Just One Day this year, and I am dying to read Willem's pov and to get a better understanding of his character.

Which book would you re-read if you had the time and weren't so busy reading all of the other good things?
I've always wanted to go back and make time to re-read some of my favourites, but never have the time, but if I had the time to do so I would read the entire Queen of Babble series by Meg Cabot again. I adored the entire series and sometimes go back to re-read some of my favourite parts, but I really need to make time for all of them! 

And lastly if you could meet any fictional character who would it be and why?
Can I just say all my ficitonal crushes? I have far too many favourites to just choose one! 

Tuesday
Pages read: 65% of The Truth About You and Me by Amanda Grace.
Books read: 1
Challenges Completed: 2

Mini-Challenge: IB Book Blogging:
Make your dream guy using characteristics, personalities, looks, and anything else you can think of from your favorite book boyfriends. 

I have so many book boyfriends, that this is oh so difficult but here goes: My dream guy would havw the strength and courage of Four from the Divergent series, the personality and humour of Cooper Cartwright from the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot, Willem from Gayle Forman's Just One Day allure and the body of Alex from the Hunting Lila series by Sarah Alderson.

Better Read Than Dead Mini-challenge:

You're in a bookstore and you've just purchased 5 books you've been dying to read, when the apocalypse hits. (Zombie, Demons, Vampires, Dean Winchester vs. Sam Winchester (yes, I'm watching Supernatural reruns) I don't care what apocalypse). You've got one chance at survival, what 2 books do you take and what 3 other items do you take? 

Okay so the two books that I've had my eye on lately and would totally grab off the shelves would be: Bruised by Sarah Skilton and Pivot Point by Kasie West. The other three items I would take would be a Kindle (my bookstore totally stocks these now, so I can read even more), some water and some weapon of some sort to try and keep the bad guys away!

Bout of Books Wrap up post

I can’t believe its Monday already and the Bout of Books read-athon has come to an end. I remember like it was yesterday I was compiling my goal posts. This being my first Bout of Books read-athon it was quite a successful one. I decided to keep my reading goal quite low, as it was going to be my first week back at work and I didn’t think I would get a lot of reading done. But I actually read more than my reading goal and had so much fun along the way.

My goals:

To read at least three books from this stack

To take part in at least three challenges

To take part in one twitter chat

By the end I had accomplished the following:

Total number of pages read: 1551

Total number of books I've read: 4

Books: Fever Moon by Karen Marie Moning, The Gathering Dark by Leigh Bardugo, Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill and Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black

Challenges completed: 6

Twitter chats taken part in: 1

I was able to knock two books off my tbr pile and already find a favourite for this year in The Gathering Dark, meet some great new bloggers and complete some awesome challenges along the way. My favourite being;

The 48 page challenge hosted by Booking in Heels.

Challenge:   

• Turn to page 48 of your current book, or 48% if you're using an e-reader. 
• Take the first complete sentence on that page and copy it. 
• Now you're going to continue the story! Ignoring the real plot or anything else you know about that book, add four new sentences of your very own. You can morph the plot completely, kill everybody off or go off on a huge tangent - anything goes!   

My current read is Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill. (page 48)

Poor kid can’t catch a break, but I suspect he’s so drunk he’s not feeling much of anything at this point...  He swaggers slight to the left and then lands with a loud thump on the clutter of mess on the bed. I take that as my sign to quickly hightail it out of there, I don’t want to be there when he wakes up with a big bump on his head and so many questions that I can’t answer. I run out of the room and weave through the crowded mass of bodies swaying to the bass pumping through the speakers, by the time I make it out of the house I’m completely breathless and I can feel sweat beads forming at the side of  my head. My phone suddenly lets out a cheery tune from the bottom of my bag, but I ignore it, I quickly run off into the night, without a backward glance.

Book Spine Poetry challenge hosted by Escape through the Pages

Challenge:

The concept is simple – using books you have on hand, create a poem out of their titles. There is no theme and no set number of books to use, just whatever poem pops into your head and however many books you need to create it.

Can You Keep a Secret? because

I'll Be There so

Name your Book Crack challenge hosted by Bookgoonie

So I want you to reflect and identify your deepest, darkest addictions. What is your Book Crack? What can you NOT SAY NO to? What bookish things make you blissful?

My Book Crack is buying books on their release date, despite having a ton of books in my tbr pile at home already. It’s like I get an odd feeling in my stomach if I don’t by the book on that date, I think I’m most likely scared that all the copies will run out and there will be no more left for me. So it’s kind of satisfying when I buy a copy on the release date, so that I can then take it home and know it will be sitting safely on my bookshelf. The bad thing is sometimes it takes me ages to get to the book, for example I brought Divergent by Veronica Roth on its release date, but didn’t get around to reading it until nearly a year after its release date. Other books which I still have to pick up and brought straight away include I’ll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Die for Me by Amy Plum.

My favourite section in my bookstore. How can a girl resist?

The Bout of Books read-athon was a perfect way to start the New Year. I will definitely be signing up to more Bout of Books read–athons in the future.
