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 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 25 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Time for another read-a-thon! It's also the first week of my summer classes, so I'm not quite sure how much reading I'll do—though I'm still hoping to squeeze in as much reading as possible, of course. Here's my TBR for the week:
Living Lies by Natalie Walters
Sweet on You by Becky Wade
Westside by W.M. Akers
Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes
* = started reading before May 13th
Throughout the read-a-thon week, I'll be posting here, on Twitter, and on Litsy with my progress. (Feel free to join the reading fun by signing up over at Bout of Books!)
Happy reading!
