Bout of Books 9.0 - The Goals

Who's ready for Bout of Books? I know I am! I'm so excited to be participating in my first Bout of Books! Basically, this sounds like a really fun week long marathon, and I know that a lot of people are planning on participating! I thought I would share my goals for this BoB. Interested in seeing what I plan to read?
I'm setting a goal of 4 books. I'm still not entirely sure how busy my week is going to be, but I think I'll be able to manage that number of books. Most of these are debut books for my monthly theme, and almost all of these books come from my January TBR.

Book no. 1 - Angelfall by Susan Ee
This wasn't one on my set TBR, and it's not a debut but, anyways, it's one I've wanted to read for quite awhile.  Kerrie Salsac, an awesome book blogger I know through Twitter, mentioned wanting to read this one, and since I've been wanting to pick it up as well, we decided to read it together. This will be my first time reading a book with someone, so I'm super excited! 

Book no. 2 - Unhinged by A.G. Howard
So, if you've read any given post on this blog, you've probably heard of my love for Splintered. Unhinged, the sequel I'm most excited for aside from COHF, is releasing the Tuesday of Bout of Books week, so I'm definitely picking that up and reading it!

Book no. 3 - Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
I have heard amazing things about this book. The final book in the trilogy actually releases this month, and while I don't plan on reading that for awhile, I am excited to start with Veronica Rossi's debut.

Book no. 4 - Reboot by Amy Tintera
Another debut, and this one was widely popular around the beginning of last year. I initially wasn't too interested, but I found myself wanting to read it and picked it up around the end of 2013. Now, I'm planning to read this debut this week.

So, there are my goals for this Bout of Books. I think this is a decent list of books to set as a goal, and it's realistic. If you guys want daily updates, let me know, or if not I might do every other day or something similar. I'm not quite sure how I'll be doing my updates schedule yet. Regardless, let me know if you're participating, and I'm really excited for all the books I have listed.

From the paper world,

    2. You could read it with us if you want? We're reading 6 chapters a day so we can talk about it without the risk of spoilers :D

    3. That's a great idea I forgot to mention that I didn't remember our chapter goal. But yeah 6 chapters a day and then we can all talk about it :)
