Bout of Books 19

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 8th and runs through Sunday, May 14th 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 19 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

It's time for another round of Bout of Books, and I'm excited. I'm trying to be very intentional about actually reading all the books I put on my monthly TBR list (instead of completely ignoring most of them to read other books, as has happened in months past), so this week should help me get closer to accomplishing that. Now, without further ado...

My Ambitious TBR for This Read-a-thon Week:

-Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson

-City of Bones by Cassandra Clare^

-Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill*^

-Goodnight From London by Jennifer Robson*^

-A House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi^

-Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky

-Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson*

-Pull Me Under by Kelly Luce^

-Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo*

-The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón^

-Starfall by Melissa Landers

-Then Came You by Becky Wade

-True to You by Becky Wade

* = started reading before May 8th

^ = on my May TBR

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