Bout of Books 11 Goals + Updates!

Yay, it's Bout of Books time! I've been reading quite slowly for the past few weeks because I've basically been studying for exams and things all day. But now I'm almost done with that whole shenanigans, and I only have one more exam to go (that I'll be taking in a few hours)! So hopefully I'll be able to sneak in lots of reading time while I'm volunteering at camp as a teacher, or just read a lot before and after camp. I'll be participating throughout the entire week (hopefully!), so let's just get on with it :)

My Goals for Bout of Books 11:

•Read all of the following 8 books (my more detailed goals are listed below):

  • Participate in two or more challenges!

Detailed Book Goals:

• Finish Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone by Kat Rosenfield, The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness , Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness (optional, but knowing Ness and his cliffhangers, I'll most likely read it as well), Animal Farm by George Orwell, and A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines.
• Read at least 75% of A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin (to page 627).
• Read at least 50% of The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien (to page 199) and also read at least 50% of Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano (to page 178).

So I just did the calculations, and I came to around a total of 2200 pages. Knowing me, it'll probably be even less because I'll be reading these 4 days before the read-a-ton as well. So I would say around 2100 pages in a seven day period (and yeah, I did that simply because I could do math more easily haha). This comes to around 300 pages a day, which I hope to achieve!

Challenge: Like This, Try This Bout of Books Challenge: If you like Reality Boy by A.S. King, you should try out Winger by Andrew Smith! Both are enthralling. They are both from a male's point of view, in which he is judged because of a certain aspect of his being, and in which he overcomes the judgement and will eventually succeed. Winger is hilarious, and a bonus is that the authors are actually great friends!
