Bout of Books 5.0: Goals

I am participating in yes, yet another Readathon. Readathons are addictive and fun but are helpful in getting some reading done.

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 13th and runs through Sunday, August 19th 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.



My Goals

I am planning to read at least some of the following

Hypothermia by Arnaldur Indriðason starting at page 182
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough
Smiley's people by John Le Carre´
Rites of Passage by William Golding
An unsuitable job for a woman by P D James
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo

Summer is a difficult time to read for me with the distraction of long summer days. I am not a fast reader so I am going to measure my progress in number of pages read everyday instead of Number of books read everyday.
