Bout Of Books Read-a-thon 5.0 : Goals


Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

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, August 13th and runs through Sunday, August 19th 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 5.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 5.0 team


Hi guys!

So, I'm really really really excited to be participating in my first ever read-a-thon. I will be mostly free this coming week, so I thought why not. I've seen some of my friends participate in read-a-thons and they sound like so much fun. I hope it's going to be an awesome experience for me.


MY GOALS
  • Read at least 350 pages in a day for the whole week.
  • Read a minimum of 7 books throughout the week.
  • Visit all the participating blogs by the end of the week.
  • Participate in at least 2 challenges.
TIME DEVOTED TO READING

I plan on reading at least 6 hours per day during the read-a-thon

BOOKS TO READ


Note :
I've already started What's Left of Me, but due to time constraints, I was unable to finish it.
Also, I added an 8th book, Death & The Girl Next Door which I will read if I miraculously manage to finish reading the 7 other books.

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren . Touch (Denazen #1) by Jus Accorda Summary (from Goodreads) When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking dow
