Bout of Books Read-A-Thon Goals

Bout of Books

Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading a minimum of 6 hours each day 8/19 through 8/24, plus listening to audiobooks for at least 1 hour each day during my commute.

On Sunday 8/25, my lovely cousin Wendy is visiting from out of town so I make no promises on reading; those 6 reading hours will likely be spent gabbing with each other, I'm just being honest! ;)

My Goals
  • My goal is going to be much different than most because I'm really just trying to finish ONE book, A Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin. At over 1000 dense pages, I don't feel like I've gotten anywhere with it yet (13% in a week!) and really want to try to finish it by the end of this read-a-thon! While I don't know if it's possible, I'll settle for 75% done. These books are incredible, but they have really been putting a cramp in my schedule and making my read-a-thon goals appear quite weak! ;) 
  • If by some miracle I finish my main book, I also hope to read Rob Sheffield's Love is a Mix Tape because that guy is awesome and I really want to get into his books! How have I not already?!

Books to Read

P.S. With all the Ice and Fire reading I've been doing, I really keep wanting to spell Rob Sheffield's name "Robb". Any other Game of Thrones lovers relate? haha!

    2. I haven't tackled the Game of Thrones books yet. I saw the first episode of the TV series and my heart couldn't take the drama and violence. :) I think I'd rather read it b/c my mind isn't quite as violent or bloody in the battle scenes. But one of those books would keep me busy for months I bet! Good luck with your goals, lovely blog you have.

      Here are my Bout of Books goals and hope you'll stop by.

    4. I can totally relate to Rob/Robb! I hope you get to finish Dance! It flowed the slowest for me out of all of them. Hope you like it!
