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. Each day there are challenges for those who signed up by Tuesday and we are called on to do an update.
Here's my progress update for Thursday, August 22:
Books finished:
Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen (343 pages)
Challenge:
Bookish Mad Libs @ The Space Between
You can copy and paste this list into your entry, then replace each item with your book title and author:

84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff (read earlier this year)
B. Fave Villain (from a book - list title/series): Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes stories

My Mad Lib:
Help! I'm being held captive at 84 Charing Cross Road {London} by Professor Moriarty!
It is very Careless here!
He is demanding Twenty Circuses to set me free!
I have just discovered that Lord Peter Wimsey was captured too!
On second thought, please send Plum Pudding, and don't worry if you don't hear from us for awhile!
Much Love,
(Bev@My Reader's Block)
