Bout of Books 5.0: Goals

I
have decided to participate in the Bout of Books read-a-thon. Here is some info about the read-a-thon from the
founders:

“The
Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and
Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal.  It is a week long read-a-thon that
begins 12:01am Monday, August 13th and runs through Sunday, August 19th
in whatever time zone you are in.  Bout of Books is low-pressure, and
the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of
books read in a week.  There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand
prize, but all of these are completely optional.  For all Bout of Books 5.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 5.0 team”

My Goals:

• To read/ listen at least 3 hours a day M-F and at least 5 hours on Saturday and Sunday
• To finish at least 4 complete books, plus the 2 that I need to read only parts of
• To listen to at least 3 hours of audio
• To participate in at least 3 challenges

My List of Books (a combo of review books, library books and fun books): 

• Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel – need to read Part 2 for read-a-long
• The Color of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe – need to finish
• Big Sky Mountain by Linda Lael Miller
• Return to Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs
• Moonlight Road by Robyn Carr
• Split Second by Catherine Coulter

 These are are audio books that I am hoping to make progress on:
