My apologies dear readers, I'm a bit chatty today.
After posting about a lack of connection with the characters in the books I've been reading, a fellow blogger posted about a read-a-thon that starts tomorrow! How convenient! And totally perfect to (hopefully) get me back on track.
You can read all about the read-a-thon here: Bout of Books Read-a-Thon Info
My goals for the week are:
- I'm setting the number of books to read at 5 but will be not-so-secretly happy with 3. And all the books must be from one of the many stacks of books hanging out around the house.
- Become a better book reviewer. Seriously--I love reading and books and all things related. I just wish I was a bit better at sharing why loved (liked, or hated) a book that I've finished reading.
- To read at least one book where I don't want to strangle the lead character to death. This could be quite challenging but I'm ready to face that challenge head on. ;)
Books To Read:
- What The Dickens by Gregory Macuire
- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
- The Night Circus by Emily Morganstern
- Fleet Street Murders by Charles Finch
- September Society by Charles Finch
I'll be updating my progress here and on Goodreads. I'm quite certain there will be updates on Twitter as well.
Happy reading everyone!
Hello there!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining the read-a-thon too:)
I've read the night circus and I think it's a good book.
Happy read-a-thon!:)
OK, I really need to check out Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I don't know how many times I've seen this on Goal Posts this weekend. It sounds like something I would like. Glad you're joining us and I love your goals. (Especially the strangling the lead character part - honestly, sometimes the 'mom' in me wants to put these characters in time out!) Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I should do this to get me reading. Even if I only read three in a week, I'd be happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling with reviewing right now...the words just aren't coming to me like I would like. The Night Circus is sitting on my TBR still!
