Bout of Books 10 Goals + Updates!


It's Bout of Books time :) This is my first year ever of participating in this read-a-thon (mind, any read-a-thon for that matter), so I'm extremely excited. This has perfect timing as well, because if you follow me on my Goodreads account (I know, shameless self promo :P I went there), then you know that I'm actually currently reading six books right now. It's exhausting, and I've barely had any progress in the past days. Plus, school is getting easier because it's state exams have already passed, but my finals aren't in a month. I'm new to this whole thing, so if you have any tips or want to share anything with me, then feel free to follow me on twitter (@koi_akairo)!

My Goals for Bout of Books 10:

•Complete all six of the following books:

   • Make new friends and talk to people
   • Participate in two or more challenges
