Somehow I almost missed this one! I've been prepping for Week in the Life (starting tomorrow), taking multiple scrapping/writing classes, and of course taking care of the 2 year old. Signing up for Bout of Books completely slipped my mind. Thankfully I remembered in time! Reading may be weird with Week in the Life, but I do want to try and focus at least part of my daily time reading.

My Goals:

• Finish Bitterblue
• Finish 2 other books
• Review all books read
• Read 1000 pages
• Knock off at least 8 reading challenge spots

TBR Pile:

• Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore (in progress)
• Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon (in progress)
• Young House Love by Sherry and John Petersik
• Common Phrases by Myron Korach
• Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara

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 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
