Bout of Books 11.0: Goals

Bout of Books

For my 8th BOB readathon...I'm really not expecting much. I do want to read...and finish one book, but I will also be in school for in-class observation 3 days next week, plus doing substitute teacher orientation, plus possibly taking a course exam. If I can do 1 book. I'll be golden.

So my goals are to:
  • Read a little every day
  • Finish 1 book, make a significant dent in a 2nd
  • Participate in a few challenges

August TBR List + Upcoming Releases


Surprisingly I've read a lot more than I typically read and I've nearly caught up with all my overdue NetGalley books. In fact, I only have 6 on my reading list. 5 of which are some I've been approved for in the last month - score! And my rating is like 75%. I kind of haven't been sticking with my TBR as much as I would like. My goal is to try and read at least half of this month's books and maybe 2 or 3 others. I'm participating in Bout of Books #11 - my favorite readathon! So hopefully I'll fit in a few extra this month with the readathon motivation :)
