It’s almost summer time and I’ve barely made a dent in my TBR list! If I want to achieve my reading goal, I need to catch up! So I’m participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon to kick start my reading catch up!

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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team.

Goals
My goal is to start finishing the 8 books that have bookmarks in them as I usually only tend to read 1-3 books at a time but I’ve somehow managed to go over my typical limit. That might be part of what contributed to a bit of a reading slump. I may have overwhelmed myself and didn’t even realize it! 4 of these books I need to read before BEA to determine if I will put their sequels in my BEA schedule.

There are also 15 books that I’d like to start and finish this month, 5 of which are also books that have sequels at BEA, so if I can get to 2-3 of those books read this week, that would not be likely but it would be great! These goals are really for the month so let’s just focus on the 8 books that I need to finish first.

Update
2/8 Books Finished

While I didn’t get to finish the other 6 books I had in mind to finish, as long as I finish them and read the books I need to read before BEA, I’ll be happy!

What are your reading goals this week?
