Bout of Books 11.0 Update! | Day 3

In this update, we will learn about how I continue to be a terrible person. Let's get started!

Books Completed: 

- Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout (5 Stars)

Books to Read: 

- Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

- Flawless by Sara Shepard

- Perfect by Sara Shepard

Pages read since last update: 181 pages (not counting pages read on Day 4)

Total pages read: 301 pages 

Notes: Even though I've been seemingly not busy, I've had no time to read, which is really disappointing. I've been preparing for school as it is coming up quick and there is lots to do. Of course, my main goal of this Bout of Books was simply to read more than I usually do. Which is approx. a book a week. So, I'm trying to read at least two. Two being the minimum. I know I can get that done. And who knows? I am going out of town tomorrow and will have some long car rides ahead of me. I'll definitely be reading then!

Keep up the reading everyone!

Bout of Books 11! (Plus TBR!)

Bout of Books Website!



Hello everyone! It is that time again - the time for Bout of Books. In past times I have tried this, but only ever when I have had school. I am so ready to do this when I'm free :)

For those of you who do not know what Bout of Books is, here's an explanation:

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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

So, on to my TBR! The last time I attempted (and I say attempted, because I do not in any way mean succeeded xD ) I set myself up to read the entire Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare to reread before CoHF. Mind you, these books are HUGE. And I had school and dance all of that weekend. I was not the best planner when it came to that.

Therefore, during Bout of Books 11, I will not make the same mistake. Instead of trying to read a million books, I am going to try and read more than I normally do. Usually, I only read approximately one-to-two books a week. This week, I am trying for three or four. As I was on a ten day trip and no time for reading whatsoever in the beginning of July, I really need to pick up the pace for my year's reading goal. So, I think three or four books is a safe goal this time. (And not three or four 500 page books.)

For this week I will be reading:

- Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout

- Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

- Flawless (Pretty Little Liars #2) by Sara Shepard

- Perfect (Pretty Little Liars #3) by Sara Shepard

I also picked up a few plays and poetry books from the library, so I will be reading through those in the next couple weeks, so who knows? Maybe I'll read them in the Bout of Books!

Well, that's all from me today. Maybe if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll also try and post more during that week as this blog is about books and writing. Who knows? 

Happy reading everyone!
