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 11th and runs through Sunday, May 17th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 13 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Time Devoted to Reading
It's summer! YAY! But, no, not really. Sadly, I'm on a summer job to help things out in the family business, doing all sorts of paper work and desk jobs. :( Not to mention that I don't really know why, but I'm in a major reading slump this summer. OHMYGAWD. So anyway, I hope that this week can pull me out of this reading slump that I'm having, because, it's summer. I really should read more books while I still have the time.
Goals
• Read a book everyday.
• Say goodbye to my reading slump! Please.
• Finish 3-4 books.
• Review almost all books read.
Books to Read

It's a cute and fluffy read! And, it's amazing. I slept past my bedtime just to finish this one! Definitely a good book for a fill-in after a heavy read. Review to be up on Thursday. :)

Does manga count as a book? I got hooked to one yesterday, and I wasn't able to read a book. Ohmygawd. I might start on a new manga, or a new book, depending on my mood. Yay.

Great goals and books. I haven't read any of those myself. See you at Bout of Books.

Hopefully bout of books will help get your out of your reading slump! They suck! I've only read The Geography of You and Me - which is adorable - but I've heard really good things about The Truth About Us.
Good luck with your goals! Happy reading :D
