Bout of Books 11 Goals

Since I have such a busy week, I'll keep my goals simple - to just read as much as possible in the books I have going already, and finish at least two:

Bout of Books 11

Well, I have a crazy busy week ahead but can't resist signing up for Bout of Books 11 anyway.  Even if I can only read 10 pages a day, it will still be fun!  Here's the blurb:

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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
