Talk about waiting until the eleventh hour! I had every intention of participating, of course. But, as usual, real life got in the way of posting this until now. Wow! Bout of Books 10. A milestone!
If you've been living under a rock (Just kidding!), here are the details:
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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Now, what will I be reading this week?
My Lady Viper, E. Knight
Daughter of the Gods, Stephanie Thornton
Read-a-Long reading:
The Stone Diaries, Carol Shields
The Strain, Guillermo Del Toro/Chuck Hogan
Audio:
Finish listening to Madame Bovary
**********************************************
Time for another Classics Club Spin! I love these and since I successfully completed my last one (Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys), I'm optimistic that I'll finish this time as well. I'm just going to make my list by randomly choosing from my list with Random.org It's so late...I just want to get the list made and let the fates decide.
