Bout of Books Read-a-thon

 

  

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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

 

 

 

I thought it was about time to participate in a read-a-thon since I missed Dewey's last month.  I like how this one is an entire week so you can spread out the reading (helpful between work and Munchkin fussy sessions).

 

Goals:

Time Devoted to Reading

I plan to read 2-3 hours a day through out the week. I would like it to be more but it depends on Munchkin naps.

My Goals

I would like to be able to get at least 2 books for review completed (including the ones currently in progress).  I would also like to finish an audio book.

 

I would also like to find a new friend or two who also enjoy fantasy books.

Books to Read

This list of books is subject to change depending on mood and what reading I get done this weekend.

Updates will be posted via my twitter (@easternsunset9) nightly before I hit the hay. I will include the number of books read so far during the read-a-thon and hours I have read that day

So do you want to join and get a jump start on your summer reading?!
