Bout of Books 9.0 - The Goals

Bout of Books 9.0 starts tomorrow, January 6th and as much as I tried to be sensible and not join in this time (so much stuff on, guys), I can't resist a week of bookish delights. In fact, I'd like to see a bookish person who could resist. This time, instead of going a bit crazy daisy with the goals, I'm going to keep it relaxed and carefree. As reading should be.

The Goals

• Read for 2-3 hours a day (commute to and from work, lunch break, evening)
• Discover new to me blogs and have some enthusiastic chats with you lovely folk
• Finish at least 2 of the 3 books I currently have on the go

The Books

• Z by Therese Anne Fowler - I'm reading this for Leah's Jazz Age in January and loving it so far
• The Lie by Helen Dunmore - WW1 fiction? Absolute winner. I'm reading this for the sheer joy of it but I will always be reviewing it over on Centenary News when the books page I'm editing launches (which is soon and I am SO EXCITED)
• The Assassin's Mark by David Ebsworth - this is for a blog tour. It's a historical novel set in the Spanish Civil War (something I'd love to know more about)

Kindle case is shamefully dirty...well used, even.

So there we have it, a relaxed Bout of Books which will hopefully encourage me to finish at least one book (whoever thought it was a good idea to read multiple books simultaneously was wrong. Wait, that was me...).

Are you joining in? What are your main goals?
