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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books 6.0 team

I hear My Life Nextdoor is realllly good. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I read Statistical Prob..in about a day. It was a cute romantic comedy type book. Good luck with your goals.

What's really bad of me is that I was gonna read Cinder after I finished the last book I was reading (Seraphina) but then I was like, no, I want to read Statistical Prob, even though it's on this list and I SHOULD wait since I put it on this list and all. But I'm SO BAD at doing what I'm supposed to, so this isn't too surprising.
DeleteGood luck with your Bout of Books goals!
Ahhh, your list looks amazing! I lovelovelove My Life Next Door, and Statistical Probability was great, too! Several of the others are on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I picked up My Life Next Door a WHILE ago. I love contemp and I have NO IDEA why I haven't read it yet so I think I'm gonna force myself this week. So. Excited.
DeleteGood luck to you too!! :)
6 books is my goal too. I really need to read Fever. Loved Wither, just haven't picked the second one up yet. Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try and get more than 6 done, but I figured 6 is the most reasonable goal I can set for myself. So we'll see. Good luck to you too!! :)
