Bout Of Books 10: Day Seven

I've had a busy day today as it's the beginning of the long weekend of may here. Fun filled weekend with family.  Therefore, I only had a few hours to read.  I didn't reach my goal of finishing Requiem by Lauren Oliver but I got a huge chunk done. I'm looking forward to finishing it by Monday or Tuesday.

Total pages read today: 56

Bout Of Books 10: Day Six

This week is such a success so far and we're not done yet. I read a total of 3 books no one novella.. What?! I can't believe it. That's what I normally could read in a month.

Today I plan on continuing on with the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver.  I had this trilogy for a while and now this read-a-thon is giving me that push to read it. I don't think I would have read it this year otherwise.

I'm going to start Requiem today. I have to work graveyard shift so won't have much time but tomorrow I don't work. Hopefully by the time we wrap this up I will have Requiem as well as Alex (the final novella in the series).

Bout Of Books 10: Day Four

Today I read 122 pages of Pandemonium. Pretty good for having to sleep all day and work all night.  Nearing the end of the book. Glad I can finish it tomorrow morning.

Total pages read for read-a-long: 741

Bout Of Books 10: Day Three

Today, I decided to continue with Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. I started this book before and only read 98 pages today.  I read a bit of Rebel Belle on my ereader but not enough for me to count.

Total pages read today: 98

Total pages read for read-a-long: 619

Bout Of Books 10: Day Two

Today, my goal was to read and finish a second book.  I normally don't even read one book a week but I surpassed that.

I chose to read Pride Over Pity by Kailyn Lowry.  She's from the hit TV show 16 And Pregnant as well as Teen Mom 2.

I enjoyed this book for the details behind the scenes showed on Teen Mom 2, however that's mostly what this book was about.  A written part of the show.  We already knew most the the information she told in this book.

Reading total today: 198

Reading total for the read-a-thon: 521

Bout of Books 10: Day One

I started out this read-a-thon with 3 books in mind.  Well I am way ahead of schedule!

For Day One I read an entire book, which I don't normally do.

I read The One by Kiera Cass.  It is the 3rd book in the Selection trilogy.  Btw, I LOVE it! Go read it if you haven't.

Reading total so far: 323

Bout Of Books 10.0 TBR + Charity

Today marks the first day of another read-a-thon! Bout Of Books 10.0!!

Last year I participated in the 9.0 read-a-thon and had a blast. Before I get I to hat I plan to read( TBR: to be read), here is some info.

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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

It was such a blast to go on twitter and see how everyone was progressing and see some challenges.  I don't usually use twitter but for massive read-a-longs online, it's super fun!

This year, there are nearly 1000 reader's who signed up.  I didn't sign up and many youtuber's haven't but we're all participating anyway. Wow! That's a lot of people.

What I plan on reading?

1- The One by Keira Cass

2-  Pride Over Pity by Kailyn Lowry (MTV teen mom)

3- Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

4- Requiem by Lauren Oliver

If I can finish those I'll be happy.

I'm going to keep a track of the pages I read and might participate in the charity deal.

Some people are donating %10 of the pages they read to a charity of their choice.  Would be fun and a great cause all in one.  I haven't picked a charity yet but a literacy one would be fitting.

What do you plan on reading and would you donate to a charity using a read-a-long.  Some are even donating $5 to a charity for each book they read. That's a great idea as well.

Happy Reading!
