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

Today the challenge has been hosted over at ohmagichour this to to rename one of the books that you have read during the read-a-thon. So the book I have decided to rename is: Mad About You by Sinead Moriarty, I think I would change this title to, Family Affairs.
