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. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. ~ http://boutofbooks.blogspot.com Template from Bout of Books.

Books to Read
UPDATE: 8/16/12 - I was going to try for Fat Girl next but after reading the first 50 pages, I'm not into it. I thought it would be more funny than depressing and I figured I could relate to this girl but I can't so...DRUM ROLL...RIMSHOT...Going on to 5thh Harry Potter book in lieu of the ones I had below. It's 676 pages on my NOOK so I don't know if I'll finish it by Sunday at midnight but I'll try. :)Harry Potter and The Goblet of FireCOMPLETED- Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix PART OF IT

The good think about Bout-of-Books is that it is so no pressure and fun, it's the perfect 'virgin' read-a-thon ;) Have fun and good luck with your goals!
I can't wait to make you do a 24 hour Readathon! The next one is in October, so Bout of Books should be good practice for you. I am a bit surprised to not see a Harry Potter book on your list, but I'm so glad you're getting your feet wet in the pool of book blogging readathons...;)
I'm so glad you decided to do this one! Readathons are a lot of fun and this one is a good one to start with because it's a week long one. Good luck with all your books :)
I'm reading Goblet of Fire now but I'll need a quick break before diving into the super long ones. :)
Hey i'm doing this read a thon too :).
I haven't read any of these books but I hope you'll enjoy reading them. Happy reading and good luck !
This is my second readathon, my first one was Bout of Books 4.0, they're great fun! Good luck with your goals!
Readathons are so much fun - you'll do great! Good luck on your goals!
Oh Harry Potter! I need to read that series already. I only read the first one.
Good Luck!
