Bout of Books 7.0: Starting Line & Goals



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. - From the Bout of Books team


Welcome to the Bout of Books 7.0 Read-A-Thon! I've been meaning to sign up for awhile now, but I didn't manage to get around to it until today. Luckily, it's the first day and I'm ready to read! I have a major final research paper due today for one of my graduate courses and then a final exam this week, so I probably won't be able to read as much as I would like. I'm going to try to do my best and hopefully at least make a (small) dent in my review pile! 


Here are some of the books I'm hoping to read for the read-a-thon:





Some of these are for upcoming blog tours and some are just ones that caught my eye from my review pile. I tend to read whatever catches my interest at the time, so these definitely might change! I'll be updating daily for the read-a-thon on this post, so be sure to come back here to see how I'm doing!
