My summer reading challenge!

So, recently I have been unable to read much due to the pressures of exams which are close! However, I have been slowly reading throughout this time even though it is not much. Currently I have been reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare and I am loving it, I'm just trying to pace myself so that I can still do revision.

My exam is on the 19th May and so after this, I do not have to go to school anymore (Yippee!). This gives me the opportunity of 4 months to relax and get ready before university in September, which means that I can go on a book binge!

I have so many unread books which I need to get round to reading but I always end up ditching them for books which I really want to get into and I just end up forgetting about them. But no more! For I have created my own summer reading challenge which I will take part in during these 4 months.

I am going to write all of these books on pieces of paper which will be folded up and put into a pot which will then be picked out from random, so that I can see how many of these books I can read during my four months.

However, I have so many books on the go at the moment which I have not finished so I am hoping to read as many as I can before I do this challenge. These include:

~The Infernal devices (Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess) By Cassandra Clare

I have only recently started reading these and I am enjoying them quite a bit so I would like to finish them off, as well as The bane Chronicles which I have.

~ The Kill Order by James Dashner

I was reading this book not too long ago and due to revision it got left on the side. Honestly I was kind of disappointed but, oh well. I will get over it and finally finish the book!

~ Firesong by William Nicholson

This is the last in The Wind on Fire series which I really enjoyed reading last year. Unfortunately, I really wanted to read A Song Of Ice And Fire which meant this book got put aside and was never picked up again. :(

~ Son Of Neptune by Rick Riordan

I LOVED the Percy Jackson series. I have no idea why I never finished this book! So silly of me! But now that the last book has come out I am hoping to finish this series and enjoy it even more!

~ Demon Road by Derek Landy

Okay, so I know that this book has not come out yet but I don't care, Derek is one of my favourite authors and I love his books! This is a must for me to read over the summer when it is released!

Now onto the books which are being involved in my summer reading challenge!

Lets face it, I am not going to get all of these books finished over the summer but that isn't this point of this, It just means that I don't have to try and work out which book to read next. Fate will decide. Most likely I will get lots of new books at some point over the summer which will then  also go into this challenge. Lets see how many I can finish!!

Happy Reading :*
