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 13th and runs through Sunday, August 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 5.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

I participated in Bout of Books 4.0 and loved it! I have been in a bit of reading slump, and haven’t had a lot of time to read this summer, so I’m excited to get back into reading. I'm also excited to network, and participate in the Twitter chats again :)
My Goals
Books to Read
I’m not going to hold myself to the books I chose like last time, especially since I’m still in a bit of a reading slump. However, these are some books I hope to read.
(^finish reading) (^finish reading) 
I’m hoping I can get 4-5 read but I’m also running around and working on study abroad preparations and Thursday is actually my 22nd birthday, so we shall see how well I can stick to my goals, haha!
Ooooh, happy birthday in advance!!! :) I'm the same as you - been in sort of a reading slump in the past few weeks but I hope I'll be able to read 2 books next week and participate in challenges. Go R! And good luck!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday week to you! Great books you picked ... though, I really wasn't a fan of Immortal Rules, but Pushing The Limits was awesome and Water For Elephants is high on my to-read list! Hope this helps get you out of your slump!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good birthday ! I enjoyed Water for Elephants. It is the book that got me back into reading.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and enjoy the books! :) I really want to read Water for Elephants (it is my bookclub's next read).
ReplyDeleteLove your list of books ;) Water for Elephants is part of my TBR Pile Challenge, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I loved Immortal Rules. Happy Birthday week, good luck with your goals and have fun! ;)
