It is a week long read-a-thon that begins
12:01am Monday, August 22nd

Now, what will I be reading from?
- Time and Regret, by M.K. Tod
- possibly: The Paris Librarian, by Mark Pryor
- Exit Strategy, by Colleen Cross
- Patristic Theology, by John Romanides
- Audio: Trip Through your Wires, by Sarah Layden
then The Empty Throne, by Bernard Cornwell
My daily reading average for 2015 was 63 pages a day.
So my challenge this week will be to read 490 pages (average of 70 pages/day).
Not counting some time for audiobooks as well.
And I will organize a giveaway!
I’m excited about Bout of Books. Best of luck to us both on meeting our reading goals. Let me know if I can help you with anything along the way.
Happy page turning! Oh, and if you come across a 2016 book by a first-time author, please let me know! – J
