Goals:

Read at least 1000 pages (better milestone for me than books completed)
Commit to reading at least 2 hours a day

TBR Pile (I won't get to all these, I know, but a wide selection seems to work better than to limit myself to a small set of books):

The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
Sandman Vol. 6 by Neil Gaiman
Sandman Vol. 7 by Neil Gaiman
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne
Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
The New Deadwardians
American Vampire

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 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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. - From the Bout of Books team
