I exceeded my goals for the Bout of Books, finishing the 5 books I had started earlier and reading an additional one (completed books listed in bold).  I also read more than 100 pages each day, ending up with over 1000 pages for the week.  Next time, I will try to visit more blogs and maybe do some challenges.  It was fun knowing over 1000 other readers were participating in this event!

Bout of Books 10 Goals

My goals for the Bout of Books readathon are to finish the 5 books I have in progress and to read at least 100 pages a day. 



and my audiobook (for walking the dog):
          If I finish all 5, I'll start on one or more of these:



 It's awesome how many people have signed up for this event!

Bout of Books 10

Well, since this has turned into a Readathon blog (so far just Dewey's), I may as well add Bout of Books - an event I just heard about last month.  What reading lover doesn't love a readathon?!

From the website:
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. 

Since I am spending a lot of today (Mother's Day) reading to console myself since my kids live out-of-state, I'll wait until later to do my "goals" post according to what books I still have in progress.
