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
I am in desperate need to get some quality reading time in and I think the Bout of Books read-a-thon is the way to do it. With a bunch of other participants also reading it motivates me, plus there is awesome challenges and prizes you can win.
MY GOALS
- Read at least 5 books
- Write reviews for all 5 books
- Participate in at least one Twitter Chat
- Participate in at least 2 Challenges
I will do an start post on the start date with the book list and update it each day with my progress.
I am hoping to knock a small chunk out of my TBR pile and have a lot of fun.

Hmmm...I might actually participate this one.
I liked the review read books goal, because one problem I usually have is writing the reviews later because I just wanted to read more. Totally approve your goals and best of luck on those readings.
