Progress for Bout of Books read-a-thon 9.0! Days 1-5

It's currently three hours into day 6 of the read-a-thon and I'm here to tell you what I have achieved reading wise so far.

I finished Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and just finished If I Stay by Gayle Forman! That's about (not entirely sure because I read some of Fangirl prior to this read-a-thon) 524 pages read so far. I made my dad drive me to bookstore not so near us last night (day 4) to get If I Stay's sequel, Where She Went. It is right here next to me and I will start reading today (day 6) and WILL finish it before this read-a-thon ends! I just moved houses so I'm gonna be busy unpacking but definitely will finish this book by Sunday.

I don't think my books from bookoutlet are going to even come in by Sunday so even if I do finish Where She Went before the very last second of this read-a-thon, I don't really own anything I want to read quite yet. I have quite a few books I want to read but they're all the first in a series and I want to read more standalone's and sequles before I get into series. So that is what I've done so far in the Bout of Books read-a-thon 9.0! :) It's been sooo much fun and I've gotten more reading done than I normally would!

Bout of Books 9.0: Introduce Someone to Your Favorite Genre

Bout of Books is a great way to interact with new bloggers so I thought it would be a fun chance for us each to introduce other bloggers to a genre we love. For this challenge, pick a book or a few books that you think would make a great introduction to your genre of choice. Leave the answer or a link to your post where you answered in a comment to be entered in the giveaway. The winner will get to pick any of the books someone recommended for the challenge to be sent to them from Amazon or The Book Depository. The giveaway is open to people anywhere Amazon or The Book Depository deliver and will close tonight at midnight CST.

One of my favorite genres is dystopian and I think one of the first dystopian series a person should read is  The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It's the first dystopian trilogy/series I read . :) Divergent by Veronica Roth is really good but I don't really recommend it because it has a very heartbreaking ending. :(

Bout of Books read-a-thon 9.0!

I'm going to be participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon 9.0! Here's what it's about and then my goals for it:

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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.

My goals, aka what I plan to read during the read-a-thon, are as following: (I think I used that term right :////)

1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (read about 145 of 433 prior to read-a-thon)
2. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
3. Where She Went by Gayle Forman
4. When You Reach Me by Rebecca (hey same first name) Stead

The last three all have pretty vague titles I noticed ahah.

I just ordered When You Reach Me so if it decides to come in on time I'll read it but I might not even be done with the first three but I will try!
