Once Upon A Time Read-a-thon Goals & Updates!

The "Once Upon a Read-a-thon" has begun!!! 

hosted by Pure Imagination, Reading Angel and
Candace's Book Blog
A big thank you to Lori, Angela and Candace for hosting :) 

The read-a-thon started early this morning and will end on the July 11th at midnight. 

I'm setting my goals up pretty high since there are quite a few books that I have been wanting to finish reading and dying to re-read because it has either been a very long time since I have read them or another book to the series is coming out really soon! And I have a rule -> all books that I keep must be re-read at some point AND when sequels come out, it only makes sense to read the books to refresh myself. (And yes, every time a Harry Potter book was released I would re-read them all! lol) 

The books I hope to read are
- Insignia by S.J. Kincaid (currently on page 116)
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (currently on page 84)
- Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz (currently on page 136)
- Goddess Test by Aimee Carter 
- Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter 
- A Pug's Tale by Alison Pace 
- 29 by Adena Halpern 

I will be updating this post before going to bed until the read-a-thon is over...

  3. You've got some really great looking books in that pile!! Insignia looks amazing, and so does Throne of Glass! I've heard fabulous things about both, so I hope that you end up enjoying both. =)

    I also have very ambitious goals for this readathon! I hope that you reach your goals, and also have a blast during the readathon!

    Good luck!
