I’ve decided to join Amanda from On a Book Bender in her Bout of Books Read-a-thon. Click the button below to learn more. The read-a-thon starts Monday, 5/14 and goes through Sunday 5/20. Things are finally starting to settle down in my personal life so let the reading commence!
Read-a-Thon Goals
*My main goal in this read-a-thon is to not stress but still get a good amount of reading in.
*Participate in at least one of the Twitter chats.
Books to Knock Out
*Corspe in the Crystal Ball by Kari Lee Townsend
*The Duke is Mine by Eloisa James
*Storm’s Heart by Thea Harrison
*Simply Perfect by Mary Baloh
How Much Time I Intend to Read: I’d like to get in 3 hours a day total. It’d be ideal to get in more than that but I’m trying to be realistic.

So yeah, I kind of epically failed this read-a-thon. It never fails that I fail so it shouldn’t be a surprise. Maybe I have commitment issues? Oh well, I had fun when I did have a chance to read and I know that quite a few other people had a great time! It’s all worth it and maybe next time I’ll be a better planner. Maybe. 😉
I hope to get quite a few books read but realistically we’ll see how it goes! I’m going to go settle into my reading stance and get a decent chunk through my first book tonight! 🙂

I'm sure I'm going to. Dragon Bound was so amazing! I can't wait to make it through this series!

Yay for joining in! Hope you successfully don't stress over it. 🙂

So far there hasn't been any stress but I'm only one day in. lol
@thegeekyblogger
You will read what you will read! There is no pressure–unless of course you are reading a book I am on the fence about then you must finish it so you can make the decision for me LOL (Just Teasing–sort of)!

That's right. No pressure…..until I start staring at Mt. Read Me again! 🙂
