Bout of Books 11.0: 8/18-8/24

I'm right in the middle of two books right now, The Help and 10 Habits of Highly Successful Women, and I'm really excited to review both, but I just can't seem to sit still long enough to finish reading. 

So, I figured this is as good a time as any to sign up for my first Bout of Books read-a-thon....ever!

So what is Bout of Books?

Here's a few words from the creators themselves.

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.

My goal is to read 1,000 pages. It's my first time, so we'll see how I do. 

Check back here for updates during the week of August 18th.
