Its that time again! Bout of Books is back and at a wonderful for myself indeed. In case you haven't noticed I've been more than my fair share of inactive this last month and I need to improve, luckily I get to use this read-a-thon to get me back into the swing of things and rebuild all my steam I lost. You want to know more about Bout of Books 5.0? Check out this blog for all the knowledge possible.
I was so happy to be apart of it last time and can't wait to join in again, last time round I read for 9 hours and 13 minutes reading a total of 1,198ish pages - 6 books - so this time round whilst I'd like to improve I don't want to set myself the target of reading more 8 books as I'll pass out. Instead my goals are:
1. Read for at least 10 hours
2. Read at least 1,000 pages
3. Visit at least 6 other blogs every day
4. Take part in at least one read-a-thon
Don't forget to sign up and join in on the fun!
You can find me on twitter @northernplunder where I will be joining in with the #boutofbooks tag
Good luck! That's a big goal you've set yourself, I'm quite jealous... I'm working again (and househunting, AGAIN), but I'll be hoping to get some reading done and enjoy the social side too. A challenge or two, some Twitter chatting, and plenty of blog hopping! See you on the starting line... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I wanted to do better than last time so I didn't have much choice haha! Good luck with the house hunting.
DeleteWow that's a big goal :D ! Good luck and have fun :).
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will try my hardest.
DeleteThose are great goals and they seem reasonable (unlike mine :) ) I hope you find some great books to read. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure you'll do fine :D
DeleteThese are some great goals, I hope you reach them! Good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteI need to track my hours this time around!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your goals (:
Thank you :3 glad to inspire you.
DeleteGreat goals. Can't wait to see which books you read. Keeping track of hours is something I've never done. I'm almost scared to do it. Good luck and have fun! ;)
ReplyDeleteDo it you may surprise yourself!
Delete& I have a stack next to me as well as my kindle, just can't pick what I want to start.
I think yours are some of the most creative goals I've seen. I never even thought about breaking down hours and pages. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I did it last time round on a whim and surprised myself, it helps me to remember to read too!
DeleteI have a similar goal, page-wise, maybe I should track my hours, too. Good luck with it and have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to compare notes at the end :D
DeleteWow they are massive goals u have set yourself but good luck, u can do it! Do u know what books u want to read? Have fun! I wondered where u had being lately...r u still going to do videos on YouTube? On FAfiction
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm not sure yet, guess it just depends on how I feel each day.
DeleteI take a semi-break cause I wasn't able to read cause I needed glasses but I've got them now and I'm back in action and yes I'm still doing videos on FAF, I put one up two weeks ago, missed last week by accident so I'm going to get one up this week at some point.
Think I'll talk about bout of books :D
Awesome goals, I am impressed! This is my first ever read-a-thon so I am very excited =)
ReplyDeleteGood luck =D
