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, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.
I'm pretty excited for this read-a-thon as I will be on vacation from work this week, so I will have oodles of time to read. I usually read two or three books a week so I'm hoping to get through 4-6.
Some of the books I hope to get through are:
How My Summer Went Up In Flamesby Jennifer Salvato DoktorskiPoison by Bridget Zinn- School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins
After The Endingby Lindsey Fairleigh & Lindsey Pogue- Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

So I didn't make my goal, but I was close. I got through 3 1/2 books, which is more than I normally read in a week. Oh well, there is always next time.
