It’s time for one of my favorite seasonal reading events — Bout of Books!

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01 a.m. Monday, May 14th, and runs through Sunday, May 20th, 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 22 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

My goals for the week are to:

1. Take part in at least two challenges and at least one of the Twitter chats.
2. Visit at least one other Bout of Books participant’s blog a day.
3. Return some of my massive pile of library books to the library.
4. Read a little each day.
5. Finish posting my January reviews.
6. Stretch goal: Finish three books. (That’s not really a stretch, but I want to keep things low-key.
