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 5.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 5.0 team.
I've recently emerged from a massive reading slump, and now I'm sort of in a blogging slump, so I am also going to dedicate this read-a-thon to working on my blog!
I want to read at least half of these!

Yeah, so I didn't do too hot, but I did sign up late and I was really focused on writing a short story for a contest, then I had to go to work. I will do better from now on!

Once again, not the best progress. Actually, I spent most of my day at Walmart with my friend. We went to this aisle with beanbags, plopped down on them, and she played the ukulele while we sang. Loudly. A lot of people stopped and listened to us and I swear people walked by just so they could see who we are. It was fun, though I wish I could have, ya know, done something for Bout of Books.
