Bout of Books 10 and The Classics Spin 6 #ccspin

Bout of Books

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

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. That's a load of reading. I can barely do a book a week and don't know how you manage it. I do love the reviews though. :-)

    Letters From Prison

    Letters from prison continue to be an inspiration to those in prison, revealing the love and the power of God to transform broken lives.
