Bout of Books Readathon 10 my GOALS!

In this post I am setting out my goals for the Boutofbooks 10 readathon that is happening next week. These are my aims, I do intend to stick to them, however I maybe changing the books I read if I am in a particular mood for something else. As I want to be able to read as much as I can in the week.


Time Devoted to Reading:

I will be reading most days, I have a couple of appointments to attend during the week so this will be time that I won't be reading. I also will be reading in the evenings and at the weekends.




My Goals:

I hope to clear some of my TBR as it is currently big. Well big is a bit of an understatement ha ha! I intend to read at least 3 books during the week. (Fingers crossed this happens!)

I will be using the hashtag #boutofbooks during the week

To participate in challenges


Books to Read:

I will be first finishing off any book that I have been reading from the weekend then, O.K these may change over the week but I am going to choose from my TBR jar now and hopefully get through them so here are 3 that I have chosen.
  • False Memory - Dan Krokos
  • Mad about you - Sinead Moriarty
  • The Dead Ground - Claire McGowan
