Reader Rayna

Hey peeps! It’s time for another readathon, and this one in particular is called Bout of Books! I participated the last round, and I feel like participating again, so here’s my introductory post!

Here’s the official blurb from the blog:

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 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

I will be giving daily updates on my Twitter account as to how I’m doing, how much I’ve read, etc. I will also try to post daily here, as well, to give an idea of how I’m doing and all of that.

As for my TBR… I’m going to try to read a bunch of books at one time. I’ve been trying to for the past week or so, and even though one books has my attention more than the others, my goal is to read at least one chapter from at least two of the books listed below per day.

So, what I plan on reading:

• “The Final Empire” by Brandon Sanderson
• “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” by J.K. Rowling
• “A Game of Thrones” by George R.R. Martin
• “A Thousand Pieces of You” by Claudia Gray

Ambitious pile, right? That’s why I’m only aiming for one chapter per book per day, or whatever I can manage to do.

Let me know if you’re participating in the readathon! I’d love to know what book(s) you’ll be reading this week!
