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, August 13th and runs through Sunday, August 19th in whatever time zone you are in.

A lover of words and sparkly things.
GO LOGAN GO! You can do it! Best of luck!
Thanks Amanda!
That is a very good list. I really like Pride and Prejudice
I want to read The Yard so it would be interesting to see what you think of it. Have a great week and enjoy your books 
I saw The Yard on a Goodreads ad and thought it looked pretty cool. I’ll let you know!
I enjoyed participating in this challenge last year. I think I learned about it from your blog. I’m not sure I’ll have time for it this year, but I’m going to at least consider it since you brought it up.
Even if you just participate for a day or a few hours, it’ll be fun!
Hey i’m doing this read a thon too
.
That’s a great list of books ! Northanger Abbey is my favorite Jane Austen book !
And I heard good things about Shadow and Bone I really need to buy a copy !
Good luck and have fun !
I love a good satire so I’m looking forward to Northanger Abbey. Good luck to you too!
I hope you LOVE Shadow and Bone as much as I did! ?
Me too! lol
I tried reading a Tom Rob Smith book but I couldn’t get into it, but I may have to give him another chance soon! Good luck and happy reading!
I’ve read both of his other books an loved them so hopefully this one will be awesome too. I can see how they wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea, though.
Great list of books Logan! Good luck with your goals and have fun
Thanks! You too! The countdown is ON!
Eeep!! I am so excited for you! Northanger Abbey AND Shadow & Bone!!!! *happy dance* I hope you love them
Just remember to place your tongue firmly in your cheek when you read Northanger Abbey. 
I hope I’m smart enough to get the satire. I worry I haven’t read enough gothic works.
I think it’s less a matter of being smart and more a matter of being like Catherine. I think anyone who reads and wishes reality was like books will “get” Northanger Abbey at its core
I see what you mean. I started it today and it’s so funny!
