Bout Of Books 10

Another readathon. Yay! Isn't that great? I'm so excited about this one!

If you don't know what this readathon is about:
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Bout of Books

My goal is to read at least three books. I hope I can do this, but I also have uni things to do. Let's see.
I started the readathon with "Unspoken" by Sarah Rees Brennan and I have high hopes for this.
On my TBR list is also "The Archived", "Vicious", "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" and "The Ocean At The End Of The Lane." But I expect some books in my mail on Thursday and this means that my TBR can change a bit.
I will add some photos soon, but right now I'm in a hurry.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and good luck to all the participants!

AYearAThon May

Hello everybody!
I'm going to participate in another readathon (actually I have two readathons planned for this month. Isn't this exciting?

The first one is the AYearAThon. The theme for May is Finish/catch up on a series which sounds pretty much perfect to me. So May 5-11 I will try to catch up/finish some series. I only have two books I definitely want to finish, but there are a lot more of my maybe list.



I already started "Day of Blood and Starlight" this week and I'm going to finish this book during the readathon.
Then we have my German copy of "Inkdeath" there. I read the first two books years ago and it's about time to finish this series. (I was inspired by Catriona at LittleBookOwl to read this during the readathon.)

Here is my maybe list. I'm not sure if I can read any of them, because I have uni things to do and both books are really big books, but I always need a maybe list. "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" is a really small book and I think it could be nice to read it after "Inkdeath". 
"Vortex" by Julie Cross has been sitting on my TBR shelf for a while now and it's time to read it (especially because the third book was released at the beginning of the year). I really liked "Tempest" and so I'm not sure why I haven't read "Vortex" earlier (maybe because I don't remember that much about the first one mhmm).
And then there is "Reached" by Ally Condie. I liked "Matched", but "Crossed" was so boring and I disliked it a lot (that's the reason why I haven't read "Reached" yet), but I hate dropping a series when there is only one book left and I do want to know what happens at the end.
I also have some books on my kindle I could read, but I plan on reading the books you can see here first.

Is anyone else participating in this readathon?
After the YearAThon I will participate in the Bout of Books 10.0 Read-a-Thon, but I will post another entry for that soon.
