Love for Books Readathon



I'm in! This is my first read-a-thon ever. I'm sooo excited! This read-a-thon is hosted by Novel Heartbeat and Confession of a Bookie Monster. Head on over to either of their blog for more details and how to join etc.

How: set your own goal and read, that's all. 
When: Monday, February 17th, 12:01 am - Sunday, February 23rd, 11:56 pm (my timezone). I've asked Jessi from Novel Heartbeat, and she said just go along with your timezone to eliminate confusion :). In my case, this will start approx. in 6 hours and 20 minutes. I'll be updating this post for my goal and progress. So, just come back here to this post, if you'd like to check on my progress. I'll be listing my goals in 1 or 2 days before the read-a-thon starts.




My Goals:

1. Read 3 books.

2. Read at least 100 pages a day.

Mission failed! Haha. I guess I aimed too high considering I'm such a slowpoke reader. Anyway, I had fun. The books I read are so so awesome. And I like the cover guessing mini challenge, some of them were kind of difficult. I searched every YA 2014 releases list in Goodreads, no kidding. But it was fun!
