Bout of Books 9.0 (Initial post/goals/updates)


Bout of Books
Just discovered this read-a-thon and am excited to participate and get reading. Here are the details...
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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Are you participating? 
My Goal is to finish Bellman and Black, 11/22/63 and The Book Thief this week. They were all started before the read-a-thon.

Didn't finish before we left. This is our Book Group pick for January, too.
