Bout of Books - Goals

8/14/2014

This is the second time I'm participating in a Bout of Books read-a-thon, and I'm really excited! I'll be reading in and amongst all of the many, many, many things I still need to do before school starts in September. My classroom is not the least bit ready. But I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze some reading time in despite my long to-do list!

My Bookish Goals

Read at least two hours every day (preferably more!)
Read four books
Comment on at least 5 blogs every day
Participate in at least 3 challenges

Books to Read

Well, yesterday was my last Library Day of the summer, and I may have gone a bit overboard. . .

I'll have plenty to keep me reading next week! I'll probably start at the top and work my way down, so The Kappa Child by Hiromi Goto will be up first. We'll see what I'm in the mood for next!

What an aggressive goal! I have wanted to participate in this challenge for a couple years now but just can't work in the time with the farm, kids, work...someday though! Wow, no school until September!? My kids went back today! yahoooo! (poor teachers)

I like this read-a-thon because it's low-pressure. I set my own goals, and I don't feel too terribly upset if I don't achieve them. It's just fun to be reading with a bunch of other people!

We don't start school until the day after Labor Day, which is good. I need all the time I can get!

A bit? :D Ha, just kidding. It looks very familiar. I bought a copy of Wonder a couple of weeks ago so I'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that one.

Good luck with all your goals and I hope you have a great time during BoB!

Yeah, just a bit. :) I just couldn't resist all those books calling my name!

Wonder is my book club book for this month. I'm only a third of the way through it so far, but I'm blown away already. It's an awesome book. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm a teacher as well and my classroom is sooooo not ready, but I go back on Thursday so I'm pushing that out of my mind to enjoy my last two days of summer before the daily grind begins.

Great library hall and good luck on your goals!

We had our before-school teacher meeting yesterday, so the classroom work has begun. Now I just need to find time to read! :)
