Number of Pages Read Today: 67 to 192 (= 125) of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling

Total Number of Pages Read Overall: 125

Total Number of Books Completed: 0

I decided that I wasn't going to set myself any goals or make myself read certain books for this readathon. I'd rather just pick up a book randomly and dive into it. I felt that if I forced myself to read certain books that my motivation would drift and I wouldn't read as much as I would've otherwise. I started this readathon on page 67 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling and managed to read to page 192 today.

Tuesday [Day 2]

Number of Pages Read Today: 192 to 265 (= 73) of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling
Total Number of Pages Read Overall: 198

I made slow progress today but it's progress none-the-less so I'm quite pleased with myself. I'm so glad that I have the time to sit and read without having looming deadlines.

Wednesday [Day 3]

So, due to travelling home today for my mum's birthday (which is tomorrow) I didn't manage to read at all. I did attempt to read on the train but the words weren't sinking in properly and I kept getting confused as to what was going on.

Thursday [Day 4]

Number of Pages Read Today: 265 to 386 (= 121) of Harry Potter and the Goblet  of Fire by J. K. Rowling
Total Number of Pages Read Overall: 319
Total Number of Books Completed: 0

My aim for this week is to finish Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by Sunday (the end of this readathon) I am very determined to reach this aim and think it will be possible seeing as I'm reading an average of 100 pages a day.

Friday [Day 5]

Number of Pages Read Today: 386 to 451 (= 65) of Harry Potter and the Goblet  of Fire by J. K. Rowling
Total Number of Pages Read Overall: 384

Sunday [Day 7]

Number of Pages Read Today: 0

Overall, I had a lot of fun joining in with this readathon. Sadly, I didn't complete Harry Potter and the Goblet  of Fire by J. K. Rowling within this week but I did complete it a few days after. I feel that I did manage to read quite a bit this week so I'm quite happy with my progress. To improve on this, I think for the next readathon I'm going to aim to read 500 pages.

Happy Reading

Bout of Books 13: Bookish Survey

Bookish Survey Challenge

This challenge is hosted by Writing My Own Fairy Tail 

1. How do you organize your shelves?

Currently, I have no shelves due to the fact that half of my books are at my permanent home address and the other half are here at my temporary university home address. At my permanent home my books are piled up in a dresser where as at my temporary home they've been placed inside a plastic box under my bed. So, it's all very unorganized.

2. What is one of your favorite book that’s not in one of your favorite genres?

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite books which is not in one of my favorite genres. I don't read many classics but this story has always fascinated me. My favorite genres are young adult fiction, dystopian and romantic.

3. What is the last 5 star book you read?

The last 5 star book I read was My True Love Gave To Me by Various Authors (Edited by Stephanie Perkins) I really enjoyed many of the various stories within this book and managed to review them all on this blog.

4. What book are you most excited to read during the read-a-thon?

I'm most excited to read and complete Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling. I set myself the goal of reading all the Harry Potter books this year and feel that I am on top of this goal. I'm really enjoying the story so far and the writing is truly flawless.

5. What book do you recommend the most?

I recommend Adorkable by Sarra Manning as I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had so many hilariously witty lines with in it and the characters were relate-able which helped to draw me into the story.

Happy Reading

It's May which means one important thing in particular... BOUT-OF-BOOKS!!! YAY!!!  I plan to take part in this exciting event. So far I've only participated in a small handful of readathons but this one is by far my favorite because not only is it a week long reading event there's also interesting challenges/giveaways to go along with it. This is the perfect opportunity of me to get back into reading as I've been so busy with my university work that I haven't had much time to read. Here's the official blurb for Bout-of-Books 13:-
