The Bout of Books 6.0 Read-a-Thon will soon begin! I am really looking forward to this!!

I'm hoping to spend more of my free time this week reading instead of blogging.
Here are my goals for the week.
I have two books that I hope to finish:

i understand you at least a little, i want to read for pleasure but since i'm a bit sick i don't think i will do a lot but i will try^^
ReplyDelete( storm will be my priority! thank you once again)
courage^^
Hi, miki! Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. My girls have been sick throughout the holidays as well, so I haven't been getting much sleep.
DeleteI can't wait to see what you think of Storm! I'm curious about that series :)
i will be better ^^ but my mother was sick starting at christmas then my brother... too much pressure and i couldn't resist 3 differents virus^^
Deletei'm glad my medecine works^^
i really hope they will get better soon and that you will manage to rest a bit too!
Oh, miki! I'm sorry that your family has been ill! The news reports say that this season has been the worst for flus that they have seen in years. I suspect that, for us, it's because we have had unseasonably warmer weather the past few winters. We are finally having a typical (cold) winter with lots of snow, and it's hitting people hard.
DeleteI'm glad your medicine works, and I hope your family will get better soon!
Those all look good! I want to read the House of Night books some time too. Good luck on your reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shaunesay! So far, I am liking Marked. It seems to be a book that people either love or hate. Lots of 5-star reviews or 1-star reviews!!
DeleteI really need to read Holly Black's books sometime soon. Good luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellie! This will be my first book by Holly Black, so she's new-to-me!
DeleteDustland looks great! White Cat is on my tbr too.
ReplyDeleteMy Goals
So far, I am enjoying Rebel Heart more than I did Blood Red Road (the first in the series).
DeleteThat's great, Darlene. I have heard good things about Blood Red Road so that means Rebel Heart is all the more awesome. :)
DeleteI hope you'll enjoy it when you get to it!
DeleteGreat books! I still need to read Blood Red Road, and I really want to read Undead, too :) I hope you'll enjoy White Cat, I loved it!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading/listening!
I'm so excited to hear that you loved White Cat, Aleksandra! I'm looking forward to it!
DeleteI liked Blood Red Road, but not as much as I thought I would. My main problem is that I didn't like the protagonist! But, she's different in Rebel Heart, so I'm liking her better ;)
I love that you're doing some audiobooks for this challenge, I think I'm going to do that for the next Bout of Books readathon. But I had some mixed thoughts about Rebel Heart. It was pretty good, but there were times were I just wanted to slap Saba. Undead looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, good luck with your goals, and happy reading Darlene! <3
-Aneeqah @ My Not So Real Life
When I say challenge, I mean readathon. It's obvious that I need to go to sleep soon. ;) But I do look forward to seeing your updates!
DeleteThanks Aneeqah! I'm always listening to audiobooks. I don't what I'd do without them!
DeleteI wanted to slap Saba in Blood Red Road. I actually l ike her more in Rebel Heart!
Undead does look fun!
I hope you are enjoying Marked! House of Night is one of my favorite series. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about White Cat, but I've been sorta leery about getting it since I wasn't a fan of Tithe. I'd love to know what you think once you've read it.
Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic week. Good luck!
I'm really glad to hear how much you enjoy the House of Night series, Kathy Ann! I was a little worried when I saw all the 1-star reviews for Marked. It seems people either love it or hate it. So far, I am enjoying it!
DeleteWhite Cat will be my first Holly Black read. I'm sorry that Tithe didn't work for you. That one's on my TBR list as well, but I won't be getting to it this time around.
