This time last year, I participated in my first every Bout of Books read-a-thon. It's funny because I'm in the same boat as I was last year. Not in school, unemployed... blah blah blah. Anywho... I start my new job on the 20th, so I have all of the next week to do nothing but read. So that's what I am going to do.
About 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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Pretty exciting eh?
I have a TON of review books that I need to get through, so that's my goal. Some are about to expire and I need/want to focus on reading them.
Here is my TBR:
1)
2)
3) The Dark World by Cara Lynn Schultz
4) The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
5) Five Ways to Fall by KA Tucker
6)
I don't expect that I will read ALL of the books listed. I have never read 6 books in a week. But I am going to try. I would also like to try to participate in a couple of the challenges and keep up with the blog. I will be keeping up with my read-a-thon progress below, so stay tuned!

I wish I can do this read-a-thon. I could use some time to just read, read, read. And yay! You start a new job! Congratulations, and good luck with your chosen books. :)
