2. Read 600 page ✓ (Read 800 pages, woot!)
3. Join the Twitter Chat ✓ (t'was so awesome)
4. Join at least 1 challenge ✓ (t'was so much fun!!)

This week has been filled with multiple accomplishments from me and other bloggers as well. It was a fabulously productive week! I've met some great bloggers and book lovers! 
I'm so glad I joined this!

Anyways....
Here are the books that I've read in the past week!


I did not write a review for The Lord of Rings: The Two Towers because I recently decided not to review classics. 


 Thanks for hosting this boutofbooks!

Bout of Books 6.0: Goals & Updates


Bout of Books Read-a-Thon
It's my first time joining a read-a-thon!! I didn't think I would make it in time to sign up and post up my goals! 

In case ya'll are curious, here is 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, 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
Let me set a few goals before the read-a-thon begins...
