What is Bout of Books:
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 21st and runs through Sunday, August 27th 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 19 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

As you all know, I absolutely LOVE the Bout of Books read-a-thon, and participate every time. However, I am even more excited for this one, because it couldn't have come at a better time. See, I am getting married to the love of my life, whom I have been with for 10 years this September, on the 25th! Now, most people would be like, "There is no way I could participate in a read-a-thon the week of my wedding." Well, I'm not like most people. I am so looking forward to having an excuse to just read and relax before the big day arrives. SIGN. ME. UP!
Now, If you know me, you know I am very realistic. Which is why I have yet to turn into a bridezilla, and thus think a read-a-thon the week leading up to the wedding is the best idea ever. However, do to this realism I do not have huge goals for this read-a-thon. Things may be INSANE that week so, I may not have any time to read. My only goal this time is that I read SOME and that I use this to help me relax that week. I'm thinking I will crush this goal :D
In order to not bog down the blog, I will be posting all of my progress, and any challenges I participate in, on my Twitter account. If you don't follow me already, you can find it on the right side of your screen near the top.
Who else will be joining me?!
