Bout of Books 32 - Day 5

 The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 16th and runs through Sunday, August 22nd in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 32 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

This will be my third Bout of Books. It's been a few years since my last one, so we'll just need to see how I get on. I will be on annual leave during the week of the readathon so I might get a fair bit of reading done, but at the same time, I have a lot of plans to catch-up with friends after the mess that has been the last year. I think I'm going to aim to read 4 books.

To Be Read:

Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher

Dead Until Dark, Charlaine Harris

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

Great Expectations, Charles Dickens

A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah J Maas

Keep You Close, Lucy Whitehouse

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte

Nurse on Call: The True Story of a 1950s District Nurse, Edith Cotterill

The Best of Me, Nicholas Sparks

Atonement, Ian McEwan

This is a list of books I picked via the random filter on Goodreads and I'm probably not going to read all of these. And I think my plan is to randomly pick books using random.org to add a bit of mystery to what I'm reading. I think I'm also always going to have 10 books on this list and substitute books in from my TBR as a book is chosen (The Price is Right style haha!) so I never know what I'm going to read next.
