List of Five ~ January 2014

I got the idea of making a list of the books I'm going to read for the month from a similar feature done by GalleySmith. Although she lists 10 books I'm only doing 5, to take into account ARCs I may receive or just falling into a reading slump.

Hopefully this will also cut down on the time I spend sitting in front of my bookshelf trying to decide what to read next. Plus maybe it will help with my need to read my own books. I have this problem of putting books on the shelves in favor of reading newer, shinier books and forgetting all about the previously purchased ones.

My goal is to stick to this 5 with the addition of others throughout the month. I may not read them in the order they are listed, but it is my goal to read all five.

January 2014 List of Five:

• Summer of Lost Secrets
• Dark Lycan
• After the Storm
• Tangled
• Faithful

#BoutOfBooks Read-A-Thon 9.0

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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team


Goals for this read-a-thon are yet to be determined. It seems whenever I set specific goals/titles I will be reading for a read-a-thon, I tend to read something different. Or feel the pressure to stick with a set number. So this time, I'm just going to have fun with it and wing it.

Completed:

• Secrets of the Lost Summer
• Tangled
• After the Storm (started)
• Faithful (started)
