Bout of Books 17 TBR

So whatdup, Internet? Back here to announce that I'm officially joining the 17th Bout of Books read-a-thon! I think I've been doing so for a few years since but I always fail to finish my TBR. (no shame) So what exactly is the Bout of Books?

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 22nd and runs through Sunday, August 28th 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 17 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Without further ado, here is my TBR pile.

1. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover (major excitement!)

2. Winter by Marissa Meyer (mentally and emotionally prepared for this finale)

3. Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (the famous Hannibal series, I might continue the series if I like it)

4. Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz (2nd book of the Blue Blood series)

5. Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz (3rd book ^)

6. and some current reads: (depends on how much I read this weekend)

    - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 

    - The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

    - The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

It looks like I have a lot of reading to do!

Bout of Books 11 + TBR

Finally I'm participating in a read-a-thon and it's the Bout of Books 11. I'm pretty excited as this is my first time. So, the rules are pretty simple: just read as much as you can in a week's time (18/8-24/8) and post about your progress on any social networking site (Twitter, Tumblr, blog, Youtube or others) with hashtag #boutofbooks.

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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.  - From the Bout of Books team

They are not in a particular reading order. 

:: Actually I will be travelling for a fews days during the week so I'm not that sure I can finish this pile of mostly classics. (I'm not a good classics reader.) Also, if I could not finish The Mortal Instruments series this week, I might continue it during the Bout of Books week.

Happy Reading!
