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 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th 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 18 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

 This year I am doing things a little differently than I usually do.  Normally, I do a separate post each day for updates, but this time, I am just going to run the one post and update it each day.  I have embarked on a new journey, having just begun college this week.  So I am truly and completely insane for thinking I can do this.  Hence, getting this post up a full 24 hours after the event has actually started!

I am also going to keep it kind of casual for the same reason.  I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself and feel overwhelmed with everything else I have going on.
