Bout of Books 6.0

Bout of Books 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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

My Goals/TBR List
My Goals
For this Bout of Books Read-a-Thon I want to surpass last read-a-thons results. I want to finally reach the 1000 pages goal in a week, that I never seem to manage.
Also I will be participating in the challanges daily and visiting other bloggers' boutofbooks updates to leave some comment love.

Comments:  It's pretty obvious that things didn't work out as I expected for this read-a-thon. I am in the middle of my exams and had to come back home since I left for X-mas, so it is and it's going to be a very busy day. But I am not giving up yet, I will keep on reading as much as I can.
