Hey everyone, I know my blog has been super busy lately but I just wanted to get this post up as soon as possible to declare that I will be joining the upcoming Bout of Books read-a-thon. It's a bit to soon to know exactly what I want to read so I'm not going to include my goals in this post. Look forward to that post later! Again I'm not sure yet but I might combine my goals post and my progress posts. I am really excited though and I'm getting pumped for all these read-a-thons.

Also, just while I'm here, I just wanted to ask you a favor. I would really appreciate it if you vote for which comment system you like the best. The poll can be found in the side bar. Thank you!

Bout of Books 7.0: Wrap Up

In the end...
I reached my goal!
Well technically I didn't have a goal, you can see my post here, but I did want to read 4 books to be proud of myself. I set out 4 books, which I didn't read in the order I planned to read them in, but I'm still super excited that I completed them. In total I read 1339 pages this week, which for me is absolutely amazing. I also wanted to do a few challenges and I did the Create A Cover challenge, which I'm pretty happy with as well. I've had a really good time doing this read-a-thon and I'll definitely make sure I do the next one.

Bout of Books 7.0: Challenge

Yesterday, I really wanted to do a challenge but there wasn't a challenge that appealed to me. Today though, there is a challenge called Create A Cover (hosted by I Talk Books) and as you guessed, I have to remake a cover. I chose the book I'm currently reading which is called Beautiful Disaster. I'm sure you've already heard of it. I wish I was creative enough to draw my own cover but instead I just took a photo. It's obviously a lot worse than the real cover but I tried to manipulate the concept it already had. Mine is on the left. Hope you like it!

Win this book and more in my current giveaway.

Bout of Books 7.0: Goals

It's Monday! Alright so if you read my previous post, you would've seen that I'm not reading a lot but I'm still reading a lot more than I usually do. I will be trying to read before I sleep and throughout the day whenever I can find the time. I don't want to make a set goal but this is how I will feel:
1 Book - Disappointed
2 Books - Fairly Disappointed (but not too surprised)
3 Books - Pretty Happy
4 Books - Extremely Excited
More Than 4 Books - I'll Probably Just Cry
I also hope to do a few challanges as well.

The books I plan to read in order are:
Kafira
byJohn G O'Neill 
(^ Currently On Page 152)
Beautiful Disaster
byJamie McGuire  
Legend
byMarie Lu
Nothing More Nothing Less
byAshley Dukart
If I some how miraculously finish all these books, I plan to read some short and sweet novellas.

Tomorrow I will posting my progress for today, on Wednesday for Tuesday and so on. I'll be telling you what I've finished and what percentage of the book I'm at for what I'm currently reading. Because I don't want to spam my blog with posts, all my updates will go on one post. You'll have to check back everyday to see how I'm going. Next Monday, I'll have a final wrap-up. Don't forget to add me on Goodreads for more updates. Let's get the party started!

Hi everyone, I probably should've signed up earlier and probably am the last person to join this read-a-thon but I finally decided to give in and just do it. Unfortunately this week I have like a billion exams to do but I'm going to push through it and try to read more than I usually do anyway. My goal for this week will most likely be a lot less than everyone else but normally, I barely even read more than two books in a week. Be expecting a lot of book posts this week as I will be trying to update every single day. I'll throw in a music post somewhere in there but for the most post, this week will be book post after book post. Wish me luck!
