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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

Tuesday May 14th:
What I read today: Started Aire. I'm about 70% through it. Not feeling the love. Also not feeling the love for Easy, which I put down for a kindle read-Aire.
Number of books completed today: 1
Total number of books I’ve read: 1
Number of pages read today: 350
Number of pages read total: 350
Books Completed: 1-Aire by Lena Goldfish. This was a beautiful YA Fantasy Romance-just not my cup of tea.
Thoughts: I think I might be in a book funk. How else do you explain me not loving Easy? Everyone else I know adored it. I totally blame this on devouring the Mortal Instruments series last week.
