One read-a-thon is over and the next one starts. As I already participated in the Bout of Books 13.0 read-a-thon (my TBR can be found here), I definitely wanted to participate in the upcoming one as well. Here’s the gist about this read-a-thon:
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I have a few books that I plan on reading that I’m in the middle of and where I haven’t gotten around to finishing them. I also plan on participating in all of these fun challenges. Check out my blog from time to time to see these challenges.
For now, here’s my TBR:
1. The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas
Probably everyone knows that Queen of Shadows will be released next month and as I still haven’t read the novellas and Heir of Fire yet, it is time to change that. I’m about halfway through the third novella and I’m really enjoying it so far.
2. Night Film by Marisha Pessl
This book has been on my shelf for more than two years probably and it was the book pick of the month for July for the We the Book Dragons book club over on Goodreads. I am about halfway through this book and although it is a very intriguing read, it’s not easy to read. I hope I can get through it this book, though.
3. Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
I’ve started this book for the BooktubeAThon, but only got a chapter into it, before putting it down and reading other things. The premise sounds very sad and interesting at the same time. I cannot wait to get drawn into the story.
4. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I started this book finally in April and over the course of four months I managed to read a bit over 100 pages. I got distracted here and there by other books and just didn’t have the chance to finish it. As it is a very popular YA fiction story I have the need to at least read the first book in the series. I hope I’ll like it. We’ll see whether I manage to finish it this book, though.
I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself because I have to work full-time and I also plan on doing social stuff with family and friends this week. So I hope to finish off these books so that I have at least have no guilty conscience because I left those books unread, ha-ha.
Until next time: happy reading! 🙂
