Bout of Books Read-a-Thon: Goal List

I had a pretty hard time deciding on what books I should read during the Bout of Books read-a-thon. Should I tackle a large book that's been on my TBR shelf for ages, like War and Peace? Should I wing it the entire week and pick up whatever book I please, when I please? Should I read one of the series I need to catch up on?

In the end, I chose to read a pile of books that were sent to me for review within the past few months.

The books are:
1. Spring To Mind by Zoe Copley
2. Destined To Live, Despite Me by Yolanda Shanks
3. Counting From Zero by Alan B. Johnston
4. Other People's Money by Justin Cartwright
5. Pearl of China by Anchee Min

Ideally, not only will I finish all of these, but I will also write and post reviews! Let's see how this goes.
