Read-a-thon; boutofbooks

Woohoo, a read-a-thon, my first one and i am super excited!!  This  read-a-thon is hosted by Bout of Books.

I will be doing an update everyday on my blog using the schedule from 'Bout of Books' to make it easier (see below), keeping update on my twitter & my Goodreads account, and participate in the twitter chats if i am able too.  For me, i have sent myself a big enough goal (see below) with being a full-time mum and having health problems at present means i need to sleep a lot.  I am determined, put not going to put pressure on myself and ENJOY IT BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT FUN!.  Some people have 10 books as their goal and i am like wow, i am struggling with the thought of 4.

My goal is 4 books and mainly review books because i need to get through them and this is an ideal opportunity;

  

Book 1*Saving June
Book 2*The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
Book 3*The Good Father
Book 4*Putting Alice Back together


I also plan to meet new bloggers and check out new blogs.


Update plan.

Feeling:  Bit rubbish with reading today but i did finish my paperback so happy with that.  I think the e-books on my computer for review are holding me back-wish they were on my kindle.  Difficult hospital appt so felt too down to read and my kids were on a bit crazy today so no mummy time really. Better day tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Feeling: I did a lot of reading today.  I did a few block slots of reading and then lots of on and off reading- worked fine and i was determined to finish the book. I did and i loved the book, it was amazing.  I finished it around 9.20pm and i didn't see the point of starting the 3rd book when i felt i had read so much.  I wanted to catch up with goodreads, twitter and blogging.
