Bout of Books Read-a-thon


I have been looking for a read-a-thon that I can actually participate in for a while now. I have a 2 year old, so I don't have much opportunity to participate in the 2-3 day ones. This is a great one, as it takes place for an entire week! The Bout of Books Read-a-thon is hosted by Amanda at On a Book Bender and runs from August 22 to August 28. Want to participate? Then click HERE to enter your name in the provided form. Need more incentive? What if I were to tell you that there will be giveaways? Well, there will be GIVEAWAYS! What are you waiting for?

I will do my best to post my progress every day. The format will look something like this:
