Starting tomorrow both Carrie & I will be participating in our second bout of books. Hopefully I'll do better this time around since I failed miserable at bout of books 4.0 and didn't get hardly any reading done.
Bout of Books is a week long Read-A-Thon from 8/13-8/19 which is hosted by Amanda at On A Book Bender. There's challenges, giveaways, twitter meet ups and so much more. If you want to learn more or are interested in signing up go here.
This post is just to state our goals for the week. We plan to put our updates post up on Monday when the read-a-thon starts.

Carrie's TBR pile and Goals:
~Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Leviathan (audio)
~The Forbidden Sea by Sheila A. Nielson
~Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky
~Overboard by Elizabeth Fama
~Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard
Well it's time for another bout of books reading challenge. I decided to
be realistic with my goal this time. I would like to read 5 books. With
work and family commitments I think this is an achievable goal.
Shannon's TBR pile and Goals:
~The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland... by Catherynne M. Valente
~Who I Kissed by Janet Gurtler
~Team Human by Justine Larbalestier &
Sarah Rees Brennan
~Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta
~Love is the Higher Law by David Levithan
~Fracture by Megan Miranda
~A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger
~In Honor by Jessi Kirby
~Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
~The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker
My Goal is to read at least 7 of the books listed above. I got carried away with my enormous reading pile last time so I'm trying to be much more realistic this go around, LOL. With the exception of Team Human all the books in my TBR pile are under 300 pages to help me better reach my goal.
Let us know if you've signed up for the read-a-thon and we will try to visit you at your blog or on twitter. Happy Reading Everyone!
Good luck, ladies! I chose mostly e-books and mostly shorter books to keep my goals reasonable. I hope we ALL accomplish our goals!
ReplyDeleteIs that an audiobook I spy ? I'm not doing any Audios for bout of books but I bet those will be easy to knock out.
ReplyDeleteShannon, I can't wait to see what you think of Team Human it sounds like a good book.
You both have great lists of books! Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteOhh good books!! I can't wait to get started on this tomorrow! Hope to catch you guys on the twitter chat!

Hooray for Bout of Books! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your piles look fantastic, ladies. The only one I've read is In Honor, which was stunning. I've heard really good things about several of the others,and I really want to read Tiger Lily and Wanderlove.
Carrie - you will love Will Grayson, Will Grayson!
ReplyDeleteShannon - so many books! Good luck to you!
Good luck with your goals, girls! Wanderlove and Tiger Lily are the only ones I've read from your lists and they're both amazing. Happy reading! :-)

Ha! Carrie found OVERBOARD! You sly devil! It's a good choice for a Bout of Books where you don't have much time. It'll take you about an hour to read. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo I'm jealous of you reading piles because I wish I was reading some of those books for this Bout of Books! I can't wait to see how many books you ladies finish.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and have fun reading!
Tiger Liily looks very good and I have wanted to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson for a long time. Have a great week!
