Bout of Books 10: Sign Up/MY TBR





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) The Summer Invitation by Charlotte Silver
2) The Girl From the Well by Rin Chupeco
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) Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella (non review-audiobook)

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!
