Bout of Books 8.0 Goals & Updates #Boutofbooks

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.

Time Devoted to Reading

My goal is to read at least 4 hours each day.  That means, 1 hour on the train to work and back, and 3 other hours.  Monday and Tuesday this will be a challenge, but I'm going to try my best.

My Goals

• To read between 5-6 books
• To read no less than 100 pages per day
• Visit a twitter chat
  
• Participate in at least 2 challenges
• Visit at least 2 other participants in the read-a-thon per day, and comment!
