Bout of Books 5.0
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.
MY GOALS
Obviously, I got too big for my britches with High Summer Read-a-thon, but I’m going to shoot for ~600 pages again. Also, I’m also going to keep track of my writing progress. I’m working on rewrites and I need to get them done in the near future.
Going to keep the reading light, from some combination of the following:
BOOKS TO READ
Library Books:
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver (8/23)
And whatever other holds might come available.
Galleys:
Finish Kiss of Steel by Bec McMaster (9/1)
Doctor Who Dave Gibbons Collection by Pat Mills, Steve Moore, Steve Parkhouse (9/18)
From the Bookshelf:
Finish Through Darkest America by Neal Barrett, Jr. (a re-read)
Shadow Show: All-New Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury by Sam Weller (Editor), Mort Castle (Editor)
Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis (a re-read)
The Weekly Usual:
A chapter of A Storm of Swords, a poem, a short story, and a section of Poetic Edda, unless I read them on Sunday.
