So I’ve decided, at the very last minute, to join in the Bout of Books read-a-thon! It starts today and runs right through the next week. Here’s a bit about Bout of Books in case you’re not familiar:
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
Now for my Bout of Books goals:
Time devoted to reading: All week (at least an hour a day, but hopefully 2+)
My goals: Basically I just want to knock off a few of the review copies in my stack and feel a little more caught up!

I'm glad to see that you joined in. I have a lot of review books to catch up on, but I am pretty good about fitting those in in a crunch. It's all of those back-list books that give me a problem. Buried.
