Bout of Books

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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I think I shall start off with a bang! or a book-a-thon really.  A fellow blogger introduced me to Bout of Books, where they read as many books as possible in a time period.  I think I'll do this, and post on here my results and what I have read.  It sounds like fun, it's going from august 18th, through august 24th.  I do believe I am going to seriously challenge myself and kick butt!
