Hello, fellow book-nerds! Happy 2018!

Can you believe another year has already passed? Time sure does fly when you reading amazing books, huh?  It's been a while since I've participated in a Bout of Book read-a-thon, so I figured why not? Sadly, 2017 was a bad year for me with reading. I think I only read 25 books in total and that is soooo not like me. I normally read 3 books a week. I really want to change this year and what better way but to challenge myself with a read-a-thon!

So let's get started...

Time Devoted to Reading -

• I will be reading from January 8th - 14th

Goals:

• Read 3-4 books! 
• Do mini-challenges.
• READ MORE, GET DISTRACTED LESS! 
• Do Twitter chats
• Take pictures of what I'm reading and post them on Instagram.
• Do mini-challenges
• Be more proactive with posting daily updates on the blog, twitter and leaving comments on other read-a-thon participants blogs.

Hello, fellow book-nerds! Happy 2017!
I know I'm a day and a half late in joining but better late than never. ;)

Yes, it's time once again for another Bout of Books read-a-thon! I'm sure most of you are fully aware of what a read-a-thon is and have participated in one or more throughout the years. If not, all info about this one is below. Pretty much it's a challenge to read as many books as you can in a set time period. Let's just say I've done my fair share of read-a-thons since I started my blog, at least 20 times. They are just so much fun! Anyway, today begins the 18th #Boutofbooks read-a-thon! On this post, you will find what books I will be reading, my week-long goals, daily updates, and the mini-challenges I complete.

Time Devoted to Reading -

• I will be reading from January 3rd - 8th

Goals: I'm going to keep it simple this time since I joined late.

• Read 2 books! 
• Do mini-challenges.
• READ MORE, GET DISTRACTED LESS! 
• Do Twitter chats
• Take pictures of what I'm reading (and mini challenges) and post them on Instagram.
• Be more proactive with posting daily updates on the blog, twitter and leaving comments on other read-a-thon participants blogs.

Challenge #4: Day 4 - What to Read Next Challenge

hosted by Sarah Reads Too Much

For this Challenge, you need to recommend 3 books (and only 3 books) that you have read this year that you think should be recognized as something great - something everyone should have on their TBR list for this fall.  If you can, say a short little something about why you recommend these books. 

1. The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender (my review)

     I just recently did a review for this book and as you can tell by my review (if you have read it) I LOVED everything about this amazing novel! Want to know more about why I think this book should be on everyone's TBR list? Read my review. ;)

2. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover 

    This year I discovered a new author Colleen Hoover. I am SO glad I did. Her books are one of my favorite books I have EVER read like in all 36 years I've been alive. Maybe, Someday has been my favorite so far. 

3. Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

    This whole series is simply amazing! Anything Jennifer L. Armentrout is amazing! Enough, said! ;)
