Read-a-thon tbr

I hate TBR's so much. I always chose the book to read based upon my feelings or the mood I'm in. But for obvious reasons I still selected a few. I already know that I'm not gonna finish all to these but with a Graphic Novel and three Mangas I should be able to complete two books. XD
I need something easy and fast to read for this week, otherwise it would be stupid to participate because of the work load I have to do.

Wrap up
    Well, let's see how I did this time around.

    These were my set goals for this round:
    • Read as much as I can. ✓
    • Try to finish at least two books. ✓
    • Read every day at least a bit or listen to an audiobook. —
    • Interact more with other boutofbooklers. ~ —
    • Participate in all the challenges. ✓
    • Daily Updates. ✓
    I accomplished nearly every goal I set for myself. But I knew from the beginning that it would be super hard to finish them all. I just had too much stuff going around this time. Nonetheless I'm really happy with what I managed to read and that I even finished three books, even though it's two Mangas and one audiobook. But now they are off my TBR. That's always the main goal, right?
    I'm really happy that I was able to participate this time again and I really liked it that we had a few different challenges than usual. It's always a challenge to go through all the books and find the matching ones for a set theme, but it's always so much fun too. I'm so glad I managed to participate in all the challenges, even though I had such little time.
    All in all I have to say, that I did really good this time around and that I'm kinda proud of myself. I really hope I don't miss the next round in August. Can't wait for it~ 

    The books I finished:
    • Tokyo Ghoul Vol. 8 - Sui Ishida
    • Tokyo Ghoul Vol. 9 - Sui Ishida
    • Legion (audiobook) - Julie Kagawa
