Bout of Books

WE DID IT!

So I sort of completed my Bout of Books week, and what a week its been aye!

Sorry I dropped out part way through the weekend, I feel like I had Death staring at me in the corner in the end :( 

Just couldnt perk myself back up, I swear I am NEVER drinking Matcha tea again, I think the moral of this story is that it just doesn't agree with me, since its seems to have rave reviews and aledgaly 98% of people would recomend it I think its just me not the tea.

Apart from that I was helping my parents get ready for there 3week holiday, which means 3 weeks of house freedom for me YAY!!

Double YAY is that its been confirmed that I got though all my check for my new job and I finally start next month. So I have two weeks to read all the books I can and catch up on my last 2 days reading. 

I managed to take part in 1/2 a twitter chat, complete one Challenge, Finish 1 paperback, 1 audio book. Read 106 pages and somehow manage to listen to 14 hours of audio book.(both need to be finished)

All in all I think not bad for my first ever Readathon.

I think next time, yes next time, I will aim to do more challenges, and not have to stop just as the finish life looms into view. 

Sorry this post is a little late, hope you all managed to complete yours more successfully :D

How did you find it? Best part?

Bout of Books Read-a-thon Sign up

Big renouncement .... Am entering Bout of Books Read-a-thon boutofbooks.blogspot.com/ this year. Not only is it my first year entering but its also my first ever! So some very exciting things to come YAY

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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I cant wait for it to start am already in serious training for it...queue the theme from Rocky :P

Hopefully I have followed the sign up correctly since now am getting first blogging/read-a-ton nerves, as I am not aware of a current term for this I shall be calling it COLD PAGES from here on! 

Time Devoted to Reading

I will be reading ALL WEEK!! which is just too exciting. I am waiting to get confirmation on when I get to start my new job (which is also very exciting) so if I have work during the week my reading will have to fit around it.

My Goals

1. To really get stuck in and enjoy my first Book-a-thon
2. Join in as many twitter chats at I can
3. Get tasty snacks so I am not jealous of others snacks
4. Try and add to my normal page count
5. Try to vary some of my reading
6. Find other devoted readers

Books to Read

Most likely The Sookie Stackhouse novels though will update nearer the time, when I have my book pile better assembled. Will also be listening to audio books so will also have to update as to which book am listening to at the time.

Any advice or snack recommendations please comment :)
