It's time for the...
Bout of Books 5.0 read-a-thon!
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, August 13th and runs through Sunday, August 19th 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 information, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

Good luck with your goals, have fun and make sure you get to City of Lost Souls and Iron Knight ;)(Hint! Hint!) LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Those are the two I have been waiting to read for FOREVER. I just keep signing up for more book tours and pushing them off. Hopefully, I will get at least one read!
DeleteThat is a good goal! I am more of a faster reader, so I went a little higher! :) Most of the time, I over estimate and end up not completing what I wanted to! :) Good choices on books too (: Good luck!

Check out my - Bout of Books Goals (:
Thanks Tabby! I will definitely check out your goals. I really wish I was a fast reader because I LOVE reading.
DeleteI haven't read the books on your list but I have heard of a few of them and they seem good. I hope you get to reach your goal :) Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteI think a book a week is pretty good. That is what I read... so maybe I am slow too!! hahah!!! Here is my Bout of Books
ReplyDeleteAngie
That looks like quite the manageable list! I'm shooting for 5 books, but I know I'll end up maybe reading a few because of school starting up again. Not a bad deal, though. I'm discovering a lot of great blogs this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Bout of Books Goal post!
This is a great way to find new blogs. You are very right about that! Good luck on your goals!
DeleteGood luck with hitting your goal of 3 books. I hope you have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly! Same to you.
DeleteGood luck with your goals. I'm only planning to do 3 books as well (because I have work and family and such).
ReplyDeleteThanks and good luck to you too!
DeleteHey i'm doing this read a thon too :). And i'm a new follower !
ReplyDeleteWow you're going to read great books ! I've read City of Lost Souls in May and I LOVED it ! I can't believe we need to wait until 2014 to read the final book now :(.
And I've read the Iron Knight last year it was one of my favorite book of 2011 I loved it ! I can't wait to read The Lost Prince now :).
Happy reading and Good luck !
Yay! Thanks for following, I truly appreciate it. Yes, I am very far behind on books I really want to read. Hopefully I can catch up during the Readathon! Good luck to you too.
DeleteI read City of Lost Souls for the last Bout of Books and I loved it, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I'm planning on catching up with the Iron Fey series during this Bout of Books too. Good luck with reaching your goals!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Good luck on your goals too!
DeleteGood luck on your goals :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! You too.
Deletegood luck! i put for 6 books, but i really don't think i'll make it because i am about to start moving, i hope i don't get too distracted :) maybe i shouldn't have been so ambitious (i pick now to be ambitious :) should have waited for something to be ambitious about.) ~dixie
ReplyDeleteHi Dixie! Arrgg. I feel for you because moving sucks. I hope it all goes well and good luck on the ambitious goals!
DeleteHope you can reach your goals! I'm a fast reader, but since real life is pretty busy right now I'm going for two books as well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! (:

I wish I could read more than 2 in a week. I usually can't even get 1 read in a week. Stupid life, why must you interfere!

ReplyDeleteHere are my book choices and goals.
I hope you reach yours too. I'm gonna go check them out now!
DeleteI hope you make your goal of 2-3 books =D You can do it if you try really hard! lol Cause that totally used to be me and now I can read 5 in a week if I drop everything lmao
