Summer Wrap-up Read-a-Thon - Starting Post


The Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-Thon is hosted by Jennifer @ Some Like It Paranormal and Jude @ In Between and it is meant to give everyone a little motivation to finish their summer reading. I didn't, and won't, have summer vacations (maybe later in the year), but I certainly welcome a little motivation to get to lower my TBR pile, so here I am, creating my starting post, with my goals and expectations.

As for my goals, I'd like to:
  • Read every day, and at least for an hour (longer on the weekends);
  • Enter some of the challenges (maybe all of them, if possible);
  • Update my progress everyday;
  • Read 3 books and a few comic books/graphic novels.

As for the books I'd like to read, I like to keep my options open and have room for a little leeway, so I created three piles:


My Want To Pile: books I really want to read.
  • Stray, Rachel Vincent
  • Code Name Verity, Elizabeth Wein

I am expecting a few books from the Book Depository, so if any of them arrives this week, they'll likely get priority:
  • Foretold, Jana Oliver
  • Losing Lila, Sarah Alderson
  • The Forsaken, Lisa Stasse
  • Throne of Glass, Sarah J. Maas
  • Easy, Tammara Webber


My Back Up Pile: books I'd like to read soon anyways, and can be read if any of my ordered books doesn't arrive.
  • Fated, Sarah Alderson
  • The Pledge, Kimberly Derting
  • Vixen, Jillian Larkin
  • Havoc, Jeff Sampson


My Comic Book Pile: comic books I'd like to read, probably will be so on the weekends.

    1. A tortura, o horror, o drama, a tragédia... que é esperar por uma encomenda do BD. xD Os meus livros, incluindo o Throne, foram enviados a semana passada, por isso é muito duvidoso que ainda cheguem para este RAT - mas como referiste, também estou com esperança de os poder ler para o Bout. :)
