Beat the Heat Read-a-thon : Goals & Updates

Phantasmic Reads

The Beat the Heat Read-a-thon is hosted by Auntie Spinelli Reads & Phantasmic Reads!


Hello lovely people!

Once again I've decided to join a read-a-thon. This is my 3rd this summer! There's only a few weeks left until the summer ends and I have to go back to school, so I wanted to get as much reading done as possible before it's back to all those Biology and Chemistry books! 

This is where I'll be posting my updates on a daily basis from July 29th - August 11th!

Rules
  • The Beat the Heat Readathon runs from July 29th through August 11th. What does this readathon entail, you ask? Well, read as much or as little as you want – the main point is to READ! You set your own goal, and for two weeks you read as many books as you can/want to reach your goal!
  • There will be mini-challenges throughout the Readathon for participants, along with a grand prize giveaway at the end!
  • Sign up at Auntie Spinelli Reads or Phantasmic Reads. You may join whenever you like, but to be eligible for our grand prize giveaway, you must sign up by August 5th.
  • In order to enter for the grand prize, you must have a post to keep track of your progress so we can see that you participated.

Goals

Basically, my goal is to get through 12 books in the 2 weeks period. 6 of them will be ARCs/Tour Books and the rest will be books that I own or borrowed from the library.

I'm not going to post a list of the titles I'll be reading, because those change depending on my mood, but I'll be posting the title names as I read them on here.

Week 1 Goal : Read 6 books
Week 2 Goal : Read 6 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...
