My bout of books 8.0 goals

I did a sign up post a couple of minutes ago saying that I was participating in the bout of books 8.0 read-a-thon and I forget to mention my goals for the read-a-thon, in my video about the read-a-thon on my youtube channel I mention my TBR for the event so I'll leave that at the end of the post in case you want to watch that but I will mention it in this post anyway.

My TBR (To Be Read) is:

Pretties By Scott Westerfeld, which I am currently reading and I will hopefully be done with it before Monday when the read-a-thon starts

Angelfall by Susan EE

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Titans Curse by Rick Riordan

Across The Universe by Beth Revis

Paper Towns by John Green

I aim to read 4/5 books maybe more so that I catch up with my progress to read 50 books in 2013 challenge on goodreads because I'm 4 books behind so this would get me caught up. 

I hope to do as many of the fun optional challenges as possible but I won't commit to any of them because I may be busy when they take place or I may not be in the mood for them and other things like that.

Bout Of Books 8.0

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, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I am participating in the bout of books 8.0 read-a-thon and I will be posting daily updates on youtube and here on my blog.  I will do as many of the challenges and I hope to read all I plan to and maybe more, to see my TBR for the read-a-thon watch the video below :)
