Bout of Books Read-A-Thon 6.0

I participated in my first-ever read-a-thon about halfway through last year and it was a lot of fun! Bout of Books is back (6.0 style!), so I'm diving in to (hopefully) spend a little extra time reading this next week. Here are the details.

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

Bout of Books Read-A-Thon 6.0
January 7-13, 2013
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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books 6.0 team
My Goals
To read 3 books, or 1000 pages. This is a little more than I generally read in a week but will still allow for plenty of time for work, family, and life in general—which is a little crazy right now. :)

My Updates
I'll be updating my progress daily here. You can also follow my progress on Twitter or Goodreads.

My Books
(Yes, I know this is WAY more than 1000 pages. Just giving myself options!)

Vanished by Irene Hannon (336 pages)


Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska by Tricia Goyer & Ocieanna Fleiss (320 pages)

 Choices of the Heart by Laurie Alice Eakes (384 pages)


Lovelier than Daylight by Rosslyn Elliott (368 pages)


The Tutor's Daughter by Julie Klassen (416 pages)
