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.

My Goals/TBR List
My Goals for this Bout of Books Read-a-Thon is to surpass last read-a-thons results. In the last one I read 3 books and the total of 871 pages. Now in this one I want to read at least 4 books and hopefully 1000 pages. Also I will be participating in the challanges daily and visiting other bloggers' boutofbooks updates.
