The Read-A-Thon officially started today! I thought I would announce some of my goals/ how I am going to handle my updates for the read-a-thon. If you haven’t seen my makeshift TBR List for this read-a-thon you can check it out HERE!

♠ Updates : I plan to do an update for the read-a-thon every three days. I figured every day is too much, but if you are curious/ following my rambles and rants I figured I would do more than just the read-a-thon wrap-up.

♠ Goals: There is a list that was created of prompts and challenges. I am not really going at this with the expectation of completing any, but if I do than awesome! I will include the list at the end and bold the ones/ categories the books I am planning on reading fit into. Other than that I don’t have set goals other than read a lot and all of my free time (not like thats not what I do as it is) I really do hope I finish Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch which is the book I am currently reading and being able to read another like 2 books would be super awesome as well!
