BOUT OF BOOKS READ-A-THON 12.0 | updates

For some reason, I always decide to participate in read-a-thons even if I'm bound to fail miserably. I have all the intentions of spending the week reading as much as I can, but things I did not expect come up and I end up forgetting my original plans. This time? I really want to finish as many books as possible. I'm incredibly excited for this and I'm hoping I don't give up. Currently, I don't have a TBR for this particular read-a-thon because I want to choose the books based on what I feel like reading in that exact moment.

I will be updating my progress in this particular post and I will be doing a wrap-up once the read-a-thon comes to an end.

Thoughts: I could not stop reading Gone Girl. Although the first part was a bit slow, I managed to get hooked by the second part and had no trouble finishing it. It truly was a disturbing read, but I absolutely adored that.

Thoughts: I felt the need to read one of the graphic novels I got for Christmas and as expected, I flew through it! I don't think I will be picking up another one for this particular read-a-thon, because I'm in the mood to read a lot and graphic novels tend to end pretty quickly.
