Bout of Books 6.0

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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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. - From the Bout of Books 6.0 team

    I like historical romances but I've never read something by Jayne Fresina before. Maybe I will give her a whirl--I am always on the lookout for new authors. Happy Reading!

    I hear you about distractions! That's how Monday and Tuesday were for me. I eventually conceded defeat and read books that weren't on my list. How is the The Roswell Conspiracy?
