Bout of Books Read-a-thon

I've joined yet another challenge but this is a week long read-a-thon and its all about just trying to read that little more in one week and reading as many books as possible. It's hosted by Amanda over @On a Book Bender. It couldn't come at a better time because on Friday I finish my last exam for the whole summer so I was looking forward to being able to read alot more starting next week so participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon seems just perfect. I am away though Saturday the 19th until the Monday so I won't be able to post on my blog between that time but Monday night I'll do an extra special post to re-cap what I've read throughout the weekend and see if I've hit my set goal of books :)


My Goal:

• I aim to read 5/6 books during the week and hopefully finish them all or finish five and start the sixth. They're a mixture of books really. Alot of them are new books I've bought recently and want to read simply because I know I might not read them for while, end up buying more books and they'll be pushed more towards the back of my 'to be-read' pile. One book I had bought for me three Christmas' ago and its about time I picked it up and read it! One is on my kindle just because it'll be alot easier to take with me when I go away over the weekend for a few days. 
• I aim to read everyday and not just before bed like I usually do. I'll have alot of spare time after my last exam and will want to read and play on ps3 so maybe I'll have to allot some time for me to read in the day. 

Books to Read:

• Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
• Wither - Lauren DeStefano
• Prince of Thorns - Mark Lawrence
• The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater
• The Last Wish - Andrzej Sapkowksi 
• Shards of S'darin - William Kenney

So I'll aim to read the five but hopefully I would have started the sixth one or even finished it, who knows :P If you want to find out more about the challenge or sign up yourself visit the Bout of Books Read-a-thon site here.
