Bout of Books
Alright guys, this is going to be my first time participating in Bout of Books! I need to catch up – and get ahead – on my reading before BEA, so hopefully Bout of Books will give me the push I need!
So, because my hope is to catch up and get ahead of my reading, my goal is a bit…lofty. But partially doable, I think, considering I won’t be too busy for the next week!
I will be updating this post each day with my progress, rather than posting individual updates.

One for the Murphy’s is one of my most anticipated MGs. I can’t wait to see what you think of it. And also, Tokyo Heist! Hoping my tour copy comes soon because I can’t wait to read that one either! Lots of great books to catch up on, my dear. Good luck! :-)

And I thought that I had a lot of books in my post! I’m kind of excited for this readathon, but not nearly as excited for BEA.

I haven’t read any of the books on your list. All of these great goal posts are adding to my toppling TBR list. *sigh* Good luck and have fun!

That is quite a list you have there! But I am sure you can complete it. The only book I am familiar with is Black City. I can’t wait to see what you think of it!
Good luck with your goals! :-)

I’m glad I’m not the only one reading a BUNCH of books. I need to catch up as well! I’ve had a few books for quite some time and I NEED to read them. Also, I can’t wait to hang out with you at BEA! It’s gonna be so much fun!

I think I’m going to have to join this and I’ll probably have as many books as you! Now that I’m without AP tests or major projects or finals (and knowing I’ll have some extra time), I definitely need to start getting through my pile, even without BEA!

I’ve noticed that a lot of people are using Bout of Books as a way to clear out their TBR before BEA. I think that’s awesome! Best of luck accomplishing your goals!

I’m been seeing the hashtag around but I haven’t actually looked into this until now. I just made my sign-up post, I’m so behind too! I hope you can get through all of your books, good luck! :)

Ooo, Fated! I cannot wait to get this one, I hope you like it!
This is my first time joining in on a read-a-thon too, I cannot wait to see if I can stick to my plan, lol!
Great list of books! Much luck getting through your list, happy reading :)

At the rate you’re reading Tara, you’re going to have to add more books to this list :) And let me know how One for the Murphys was :)
