This is my goal post for the upcoming Bout o' Books beginning on the 6th of January. I will add to this post as that week progresses.
Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading each day I hope for 4 - 5 hours, except on one day where I will probably only be able to fit in an hour.
My Goals
- Read as much as I can and also keep up to date with book reviews as I go. Put a dent in the biggest book on my shelf that I am a little nervous about reading - The Luminaries.
- To visit other blogs and to leave comments each day.

Oh! I love that you included keeping up with the reviews as you go. Great goals! Good luck and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mandi.
DeleteI'm hoping to get through 5 books, but it's my first read-a-thon so we'll see how lofty that goal is - I'm actually working 6 days next week. Have you decided on what you might read yet? I'm a little overwhelmed with all the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteI admire anyone who is working 6 days and doing this challenge. Hope it goes well for you.
DeleteGood luck with the goal!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great first day!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing really great. I'm only gotten through with one book and have two I'm working on. I'm enjoying the reading and commenting on blogs too. Good luck with the rest of the read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great! I really need to start getting in to audiobooks. It'd really help me polish more books off my TBR!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have gotten through some serious reading this week! You have a couple of chunky books on your list, I see! Good luck with your reading this weekend! You've got this!
ReplyDeleteThe Luminaries is so huge! I've heard brilliant things but I'm a little intimidated by its size. Enjoy the rest of your week!
