Bout of Book Read-a-Than 9.0 Goals

Eeps! Goals, oh my! I'm so bad at these, but here goes!

Time Devoted to Reading

I will be reading everyday, this isn't really a challenge for me as I read each night before bed anyway.

My Goals

I plan on finishing Lucky Number Four by Amanda Jason. I'm really enjoying the story so far. Then who knows what I'll read. I know I will start Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi and possibly Angelfall by Susan Ee, but I'm not really certain. I also plan on participating in as many of the challenges as possible.

Books to Read

Lucky Number Four 
Under the Never Sky
Angelfall

Who's Doing Bout of Books?

ME! I messed everything up the last time I tried to do Bout of Books, but I've been very careful and I am going to read my rear end off over the next couple of days.

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 to come!!!

Bout of Books Update Post

I'm sad to announce that I signed up for Bout of Books wrong and am not eligible for any of the great prizes, but I will be participating in all the fun anyway and updating this page with the days reading goals and some of the challenges. They're all really creative, so I thought, heck, I'll do them and just post them here. Just because I can't win a prize doesn't mean I shouldn't indulge in the festivities, right?

Welcome to my Bout of Books update post. I'm going to list my goals here, then check them off as I go each day. It'll be a good place to put my mini-challenges and such.

Sarah Says Read
Question: What is one bookish thing you want to do before you die? OR what is one thing you want to do before you die that was inspired by a book you read?

Answer: There are so many things I’d love to do that are totally bookish, but the top thing on my list is to write a novel or two and have them published. Lofty goals, I know.

Next on my list would be to attend BEA or any other book festival and meet all my favorite authors as well as some of the great blogger friends I’ve met online.

Book Pairing

Basically this one was to show what we were eating/drinking/and reading through a picture or just a simple comment. Well, a picture speaks a million words, right?

Immortals by Ednah Walters - 242

Music Plus Books

All you have to do is rename the book you're currently reading or more if you'd like. If you've haven't started a book, you can judge it by the cover. For all you bothered people, if this is too easy, don't worry! You can remake the whole cover if you'd like as well.

I'd rename it:

Cougars Running Wild.
