Bout of Books 25 [Goals + TBR]

It's time for BOB readathon once again. I am participating for the 22nd time! Bout of Books 25 runs May 13 to 19 and is hosted by Amanda and Kelly. I am going to try and update on Twitter and Goodreads. My goal is to just read because I'm also in college full-time and just started one of the big four classes. As always, my goals are small and attainable because I want BOB to be a success!

[GOALS]
**Read a little every day
**Finish one book
**Participate in one Twitter chat
**Be a cheerleader!

[TENTATIVE TBR]
(Finish my current reads)
**Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett
**The Wicked King by Holly Black
**Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
**There's Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon

Interested? Sign up here!

I'm also an Expert again and will be trying to visit tons of blogs and tweets to encourage my fellow BOB-ers - as well as run some sprints on Twitter!
