It's that time again--the Bout of Books Read-A-Thon, created by
Amanda @ On a Book Bender and now hosted on its very own blog
HERE. You can also follow the fun on Twitter using the hashtag #boutofbooks or following

I nearly missed this round of Bout of Books--but thanks to Lit Addicted Brit, here I am. I signed up once and somehow managed to delete my Goal Post. Here it is again--as close as possible to my original post.
My Goals
*To read as many books as possible and kick-start my reading pace again.
*To read at least 5 and hopefully 7 books by the time I'm done.
*To have fun!
*To attack the teetering pile of TBR books in the back room and knock out some challenge books.

ReplyDeleteYey - so glad that you spotted it in time :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to just get stuck in now! My list is pretty modest compared to a lot of people's but I'm definitely looking forward to spending a whole week prioritising reading! If I get through three books, I'll be happy.
Good luck in getting through your fabulous looking list!
Good luck this week :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals, Bev. Have fun reading this week!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to tackle that TBR shelf and get those books read! Good luck! Hopefully you've already started reading!
