Bout of Books Read-a-thon Sign-Ups

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 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 15 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Some reading, some sleeping, some general piddling around... Then went outside into the real world for some fresh air while hitting a few used books stores and spending some money...

 

Did some more reading.

 

An overall good day.

Read-a-thon Hopefuls

Looks like I've started all the books I had wanted and hoped to start for the Bout of Books Read-a-thon week.  Yay!

 

Finishing them all is a different story, I suppose.
