Bout of Books Readathon 5.0 Goals





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 will be finishing up a couple of books too. If this is your first reading of The Summer I Turned Pretty, you are in for a real treat and you may want to have the rest of the series on hand. When I started it, I loved it so much that I went ahead and got the rest of the series IMMEDIATELY - thank goodness for instant Nook downloads. Good luck!

      I don't have the other two on hand actually!! so it'll be a first for me, and probably will need to download the other two!
