Bout of Books Goals & Progress

Bout of Books Read-a-thon starts @ 12:01am on Monday! Unfortunately I will not be able to start right away. I need my beauty sleep for an interview. Once lunchtime hits though, it's on!


Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

My Goals:
My primary goal is to sit back and enjoy reading!
I also plan to read at least six books during the week. Crazy, I know!
This blog post will be updated daily.
Finally, I will participate in at least one twitter chat.

Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth (Vol 2) by Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle
Axe Cop Volume 3 by Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle
The Watch that Ends the Night by Allan Wolf

Mini-Challenge: The Reading Housewives hosted the mini-challenge of combining two faves: Books and shoes! You can depict shoes that match a character or a book cover. I wasn't sure if I was going to participate, but my current read Shine made the decision for me.


Cat: "My feet hurt, however, because I made the mistake of wearing my silver plastic flip-flops with little jewels in the straps" (p. 84).

  8. I'm still amazed at how many books have been titled 'Shine'. I read one too, but it was part of Jerri Smith-Ready's Shade series. Who knew? Guess if I ever write a book, I'll have to come up with a different title. LOL! Happy reading and have a great weekend!
