Bout of Books 22

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 14th and runs through Sunday, May 20th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 22 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books team

I'm so ready for a week full of reading! I don't have any classes right now, plus I won't be working on Friday (though I will be spending the weekend with family), so I should get through plenty of the books I'm hoping to read. Here's my TBR for the week:


-The Accidental Guardian by Mary Connealy
-Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Jill Mansell
-How to Be a Perfect Christian by The Babylon Bee
-Hurricane Season by Lauren K. Denton
-Last Year's Mistake by Gina Ciocca*
-Luck, Love & Lemon Pie by Amy E. Reichert
-The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
-The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin
-The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West*
-The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristin Billerbeck

* = started reading before May 14th


And throughout the read-a-thon week, I'll be posting here, on Twitter, and on Litsy (@hes7) with my progress. (Feel free to join the reading fun by signing up over at Bout of Books!)

Happy reading!
