Bout of Books 4.0 Goals




Bout of Books 4.0 starts this Monday, and I'm pretty excited. This will be my first time I've ever participated in this event, although I've watched it happen for the past two times. Usually I miss the sign up, but this year I've decided that's not going to happen!

It's a 6 day event, if you count the 14th AND 20th, which I do. I'm going to be busy all day on the 19th, so that will cut my reading down a bit, but I'm going to shoot for 7 books. That's a book a day, which I can do, and then a little bit of extra. I'm pretty sure that's do-able. 

I hate listing books ahead of time, because then I feel too boxed in and like I HAVE too choose one of the ones listed, so I'm not going to do that. The only book I know for sure that will be read is Glitch.

Are you participating in Bout of Books 4.0? What books are you hoping to read during this coming week?

  1. Have fun & good luck! Since you have 7 days, a book a day should be no problem. (spoken by someone who has never finished more than 5 books during Bout-of-Books - *sigh*)

  2. Glad you're participating! I'm going to be busy a few days as well, so I'm thinking of aiming for 3 books this time :) I have a list, but it's because I really want to read those specific ones. Good luck!

  5. I'm a moody reader so I generally give myself too many books to pick from, lol. Good luck! And I am participating! I have 8 books listed to pick from.

    1. Lol, that's my exact problem. And then I feel guilty because I didn't read what I said I was going to. I know, it's irrational, but I can't help it.

      Glad to see you're participating!

  7. Oooh I really want to read Glitch - I was approved via NetGalley, but that one isn't on my list. I feel like if I don't make a list, I'll never be able to pick what to read. LOL.

    Good luck with your goals :)

    1. I'm the complete opposite, lol. I feel like if I make a list I absolutely HAVE to choose from those books and can't change my mind and then I freak out and get really bad anxiety. It's not pretty, lol. I'm too indecisive to make a list. So I pick about 30 books to choose from and go from there, hahah!

      Thank you!!
