This is it, Bout of Books Read-a-thon has officially started! Are you participating?
Summer has flown by and I have not read as much as I would like, so a Read-a-thon is the perfect way to end the summer and hopefully enjoy some good 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, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Good luck with your goals!
You have so many great books on your list! I am DYING to read Asylum. I love the mixture of old photographs and a chilling story. I hope it's as great as it looks :)
Bekka @ Pretty Deadly Reviews
Love your list! I'm reading on The Chaos of Stars today!! Good luck!
Wow, great progress! You are kicking butt. If you get through Covet and then take on Monsters and finish it, you will be my hero. Monsters is a monster. When I saw it, I actually thought it was more than one book. Good luck the rest of the week.
LisaILJ @ I’ll Tumble for YA
@ Lisa I have an ebook, so I didn't realize it was 688 pages until I checked. I am going to try and finish it before the end but we will see :)
It looks like you're doing pretty good. Only two more books to go to meet your challenge. I probably won't write reviews for all of mine until after the read-a-thon is over, but maybe I'll get lucky and get all the books read I want to and get reviews up for them. :) Good luck!
