Bout of Books 8.0 Goals
Time Devoted to Reading
My Goals
Since I’m not completely sure about my week anymore, I have no idea. I was going to shoot for 4 books, but that seems high now. I think I’ll be happy with 2 and happier if I manage more. I definitely want to read Scarlet, though. If I am able, I’d like to do chats and other activities.
Updated Goals: I think I really want to try for 4 again. I have a lot of free time over the next few days!
Books to Read
- Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen – finished 8/20
- Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys – finished 8/22

The list isn’t in any order and please excuse my bare mattress (laundry day). I also have Jane Austen Goes to Hollywood by Abby McDonald and Manicpixiedreamgirl by Tom Leveen on deck in case I change my mind.
I’ve been wanting to read Scarlet for so long! I’ve also been curious about The Secret History of the Pink Carnation for a while. I kind of randomly picked the others because I’ve seen some good things about them.
