Bout of books: Read-a-thon 24/10-30/10

Hi bloggers,

I've just finished my first half term at college. It's sooo much work, but it's fun. I do however really miss having the time to read and write like I used to. So this week while on my half term break I will be joining in the fun at BoutOfBooks and will be doing another read-a-thon! YAY. 

However saying this I wont be reading 24-7 like the last read-a-thon as it is my only 5 day break in like 7 weeks and I won't have another break for a couple months after. I would like to get some writing done too and I have my first driving lesson on Thursday!!! So scared. 

Here are my goals for the read-a-thon. 

Time Devoted to Reading

Whenever I'm free or at home or travelling I will be reading (not 24-7 all week I'm afraid).

My Goals

• 3 books minimum.  Shooting for 5.  Ultimate goal: 8 books.
• I managed 4+ahalf in the 3 day read-a-thon last time but that was in summer and I read constantly with little sleep haha. 

Books To Read

• Forever by Maggie Steifvater
• Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick 
• Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma 
• Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson
• Wither by Lauren Destefano 
• Paranormalacy by Kierstan White 
• City of Bones by Cassie Clare

But at least I met my minimum! 

I also have a writing goal for this half term, I'm on around 200 something pages for book two in my YA series and I aim to get to 300 or to the finish it, wherever that may be on account of page numbers. 

Unfortunately did not find any time to write... but that's flexible. 

Have a fun half term!

WRAP UP:
So I only read 3 books and didn't get to write, but I had a great half term and the books I did read were beyond amazing, I was glad I read them at normal pace and not rushing because then the story doesn't settle in that much does it? 
Love to hear how you all did! Thanks for the read-a-thon BoutofBooks!
