My Goals
I am super excited for this challenge. You can use ARCs (regardless of pub date and finished copies from authors or publishers. So basically you can use any review book! As soon as Kimba announced this, I planned my whole month of May around it on my blog. I am not reviewing any of my own books for the month, just review books, so this challenge will be awesome to get my review book numbers down.
So here are my goals:
- Read at least 22 books
- Get at least 3 reviews scheduled for June
I will be choosing the books from a goodreads shelf I created for this challenge.
You can see my Goodreads shelf HERE
And once I read the books my progress will be updated on this shelf
Progress
5/18/14- I have read 12/22 of my books for this goal! 🙂
This sounds like fun! Good luck with the challenge, you have a lot of great books to read.
Thanks! Are you going to join in too?
I am so glad you are joining us!! You really have a lot of ARCs to get read! I hope you get them all done this month. If you are joining Bout of Books you can even mix the two events!! Good Luck!
Yep! I have been planning for this so I packed my blog calendar with lots of arcs and overdue books for review 😉
22 books! And I thought my list was ambitious! (17 books, and I don’t expect to get to more than 10 or 12 — if I’m lucky.) Best of luck, and have fun with the challenge!
Thanks good luck to you too! It is going to be fun. 😉
Woohoo! good luck, they all look so good 😀
Thanks Lily 🙂
Whoa, that’s ambitious! I feel like a slacker now with my list. 😛 Best of luck!
Dang, lady, you have quite the pile for this challenge. Good luck.
Christy, when do I not have too many books to read? haha but my real goal for the challenge will be to get some books read well in advance of the review of my blog. It is all about that cushion that I can never seem to keep up.
Maybe this will finally be the month! haha ::eyeroll::
