Don't you just love readathons? I LOVE 'em. It's that time of year where you just push yourself to read those books which have been sitting or standing (?) on your shelves forever. I am going to be working this week but I still hope to get quite a bit of reading done nonetheless.
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
The Goals
Here is a list of the books I will be trying to read. I am not planning on reading massive books because that would probably be a bad idea. I do feel like if I read about 150-200 pages a day though, it would be quite a good week. I added like two extra ones I would like to read if by some miracle I manage to finish the first ones. Two of these I have already started.

Note: So that was a complete fail but in my defense I woke up at 6.15 and I did not return home till 7.30. Then I had to eat, shower and prepare some things for work. By the time I got some free time it was 9.30 so I read till 10.30 and went to sleep because I was super tired.

Note: I am so conflicted. I wanna stick to my TBR but I am kind of, sort of am hating Blood Promise but I need to finish it cause it's been on my currently-reading shelf FOREVER. But I wanna re-read Shatter Me and Unravel Me in preparation for Ignite Me so bad. Like you don't even know. I've been looking at them longingly and sighing (actually sighing, it's comical really) whenever I pass by my bookshelves like any girl would look longingly at Ryan Gosling. So yeah. It's bad. Ah, decisions, decisions.
