    Bout of Books 17 | Stating My Intentions

    That’s right, you read the title correctly – it’s Bout of Books time again! I took part in the last round of this readathon (Bout of Books 16 funnily enough) and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, so I thought why not commit myself to it again? If nothing else this low-key readathon is very much my speed…

    Bout of Books 16 | Daily Updates

    Bout of Books 16 is officially upon us – such fun! My goals and TBR stack can be found on my Stating My Intentions post whilst this post is for the purposes of documenting my reading progress throughout this week so expect daily updates to be found sporadically updated here.

    Bout of Books 16 | Stating My Intentions

    It’s Bout of Books time again! The last time I participated was in Bout of Books 11 – and I didn’t realise so many rounds of the readathon had happened since then. Life, it turns out, really does get in the way.  Bout of Books was my first concerted effort to participate in a readathon so…

  • #TBRTakedown 3.0

    This coming week is Shannon from leaninglights’ readathon #TBRTakedown 3.0, which runs from 4th at 12:00 AM to 10th at 11:59 PM. I’m optimistic for the first readathon of the year as, hopefully, this will kick off my 2016 reading since I’ve been lingering with The Hero of Ages for what feels like forever. As seen in Shannon’s announcement video,…

  • Cramathon TBR & Friday Reads | 18th December

    I’m tentatively participating in the 2015 Winter Cramathon, yay I do love a go readathon to make me make reading a priority! (Technically I guess this following post also counts as a Friday Reads since this is my sole reading intention for the weekend.) For those who aren’t aware Cramathon is a 3-day readathon running from…

  • Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon: On the Day

    As mentioned in my Intentions post, I’m terrible at sticking to TBRs so this is just the stack of books I’ll be choosing from during the readathon: Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (x) Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (x) Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig (x) The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick…

  • Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon: Stating My Intentions

    After having known about Dewey’s Readathon for years through watching booktubers’ videos on the day, this is the first year that I’ve actually committed myself to taking on the challenge. I’m under no illusions – I will not be sacrificing sleep (it’s physically impossible for me to keep myself awake for 24 hours, I’ve tried…

  • Reading Rainbow Readathon TBR

    I’ve just been made aware of the upcoming Reading Rainbow Readathon which is happening throughout next week and of course because I feel like I’ve missed out (and/or failed) every read-a-thon so far this year, I’ve decided to participate. Despite the fact I’m at work more in the upcoming week and Monday/Tuesday will basically be…

  • Bout of Books Day 7

    The final update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, it’s day 7, aka the final day, the end, the home stretch etc. etc. I’m not sure how I feel about the progress I’ve made but I will say this has helped show me how I can blog about books and join a community of…

  • Bout of Books Day 6

    Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 6 is here and since yesterday I’ve done nothing more than enjoy my visit to Liverpool. On reflection, perhaps this week wasn’t the best week in which to do a read-a-thon but a low-key, low-fuss read-a-thon like the Bout of Books is perfect…
