About:
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. -From the Bout of Books 5.0 team
Standard info:

- Bout of Books is low pressure, meaning participants are only asked to push themselves to read more than they normally would during any given week. There is no competition between readers.

ReplyDeleteYou have a good list - I haven't read these books. I hope you enjoy them and have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck this week! I need to read more in the Ender series too, I've only read Ender's Game so far but was really impressed by it. See you around Twitter!
ReplyDeleteHope you like Pretty When She Dies. It was my first horror-ish book. Very Raw, but I liked it.
ReplyDeleteWell, another read-a-thon for us addicts! Awesome! Good luck with your reading this week. I didn't know you were reading along with Wolf Hall and Cider House. Cool! So, what do you think so far?
