Bout of Books 17

Bout of Books 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 22nd and runs through Sunday, August 28th in whatever timezone 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 17 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books team

It's time for another Bout of Books read-a-thon! I really want it to pull me out of my recent reading slump - but realistically, I know this week will be full of distractions (outside of working full-time), since my roommate is getting married this weekend. I guess we'll just see how it goes... Regardless, I still assemble an ambitious list of books I would like to read:

-A.D. 33 by Ted Dekker
-As You Wish by Cary Elwes
-Before the Fall by Noah Hawley
-Everybody Rise by Stephanie Clifford
-I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
-In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume
-Life of Pi by Yann Martel
-P.S. I Like You by Kasie West
-Rooted by Banning Liebscher
-Starving Hearts by Janine Mendenhall
-Without Warning by Lynette Eason

And throughout this read-a-thon week, I'll be posting here with my progress. 

Happy reading!

  3. Six books is still a great number! I've heard great things about Without Warning and need to read it. You can see my wrap-up here.
