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, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.Don't forget to use the #boutofbooks hashtag when updating on Twitter and follow boutofbooks.
I will be updating my progress here on my webpage and on my my twitter page.
I will be doing a master post as the read-a-thon gets closer with all the books I plan to read and with all the challenges I do! Can't wait to get started!
Time Devoted to Reading:
Hoping to get a lot of reading done this week! I would like to read at least 2 hours a day. But we'll see. Usually something always comes up.
My Goals:
I seriously have had so many books come into the library out of nowhere. I really want to get these read, there are a few more books I hope to also get to but for now this will be my goal:
