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, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 26 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Time to read-a-thon again! Since my fall semester does not start until next week, I have nothing to do but read this week! It's a great feeling, and I anticipate getting plenty of reading done. Here's my TBR (though I also anticipate reading completely different books, too):
All Made Up by Kara Isaac
Becoming Us by Robin Jones Gunn
Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead
No Ocean Too Wide by Carrie Turansky
Sweet on You by Becky Wade
* = started reading before August 19th
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!

What a great week! I spent a lot of time racing audiobook due dates, so I didn't stick to my TBR so well... But I'm happy to have squeezed in so much reading before the start of the fall semester. Here's a final look at what I finished:
Good job in finishing 2 books! Night at the Opera and Beneath an Italian Sky look interesting. I have to see if my library has these.
