I’m halfway through Deadly Little Voices by Laurie Faria Stolarz. Hoping to finish it or come close to finishing it before I go to bed, but my raging headache may succeed in preventing me.
Also, I have a new addition to add to my TBR list for this read-a-thon. Assuming John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars is mailed to me this week, I’ll most definitely be reading that before whichever book comes next. MUST. READ. I’m ridiculously excited for it and have been waiting months.
Hope everyone else is doing well with their goals!
What’s better than being on Break and having time to read? Being on Break and devoting a week entirely to reading! I’m extremely happy for Bout of Books 3.0, if you couldn’t tell. The previous two installments of Bout of Books didn’t go so well for me because I had to juggle schoolwork and real work. But now I actually have time and I’m fully prepared to take down some books.
Who’s with me?
MY GOALS:
- Read at least 3 books.
- Finish one of the several books I’ve started, but stopped reading.
- READ LIKE IT’S MY JOB.
BOOKS TO READ:
To keep myself on track, I’m going to post updates daily. Otherwise I’ll never go back and update this one post. So be on the lookout for my progress.
What are your goals? What are you going to be reading?
It’s a way for bloggers to celebrate the end of the week with a nice re-cap of their weekly posts and to answer a random question.

All in all, I could’ve done much better. I blame my headaches and the hurricane. (Ever try to read an e-book with a headache? My advice: DON’T.)
But no worries! This just means I’ll push myself to do even better during my next read-a-thon. HUGE thanks to Amanda @ On a Book Bender for hosting and listening to me whine about my reading troubles.
