I am going to participate again in this read-a-thon! I really need to get caught up on some books andwhen I saw others participating in it I knew it was perfect for me. It starts on the 13th!
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 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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.
Don't forget to use the #boutofbooks hashtag when updating on Twitter and follow boutofbooks.
I will be updating my progress here on my webpage and on my my twitter page.
I will only be updating to this page so check back here. I also will be doing my challenges on this link so scroll down to the bottom to see them!
Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading 2 hours a day/during the week/ not exactly sure how much reading I will get in on the weekend... but hopefully a lot!
My Goals:
I would like to read 3 books. I am in the middle of a Harry Potter re-read and really would like to get it done this week finally. I have 1 book left. NOS4A2 is a long book... so I may only get Harry Potter done and this one. I might get to Reached... hoping to.

Challenges:
Challenge 1:
Book Spine Poetry hosted by Escape Through the PagesMake a Book Spine Poetry Poem. Well I suck at poetry and I mean big time!!
so here is what I came up with:
Challenge 2:
Book to Music hosted by Medusa's Library
Do I have any books tied to music? Well this is a good one. I have to think. I don't normally think of music to books. Unless the book has music mentioned in it. So I guess I will go with those...
I recently read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell.. which of course takes place in the 80s. So that made me think of Rock Of Ages (the broadway show.. the movie was so-so... but Tom Cruise was hot...) Ok back on subject...
So Eleanor and Park + the 80s + Rock of Ages =

Challenge 3:
Alternate Titles hosted by The Book Barbies
I have never really loved the title for the Harry Potter book I am reading.. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't know why. It's just I feel like the book was more then that. Harry Potter and He Who Must Not Be Named. That should've been the name of at least one of the books I think... I used to have this poster long before the movies came out that said "He Who Must Not Be Named". I must've thrown it out years ago.
Challenge 4:

Challenge #6
Personify a Book hosted by Kimberly Erskine
Wow... well let me think... I am going to pick Superman comics... yes all Superman comics!! Superman is my husband Eddie. He is amazing.
Superman and my husband are brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality, and righteousness. I believe that my husband really tries to help others without question. His integrity drives me nuts sometimes. He refuses to be a bad person and we need more of him in this world. Here we are!!
