I will check out this reading challenge as I do read a lot.
Hello,
I saw that you were doing the Bout of Books read-a-thon. I've followed you to make sure I get your updates! I would really appreciate it if you could come over to my blog to check it out, and if you like it, you can follow me as well. I hope you'll follow my read-a-thon journey. I blog about my favourite music and books hence the name Music Plus Books.
Thank you and good luck,
Music Plus Books

Sounds great, Terra! Look forward to finding you in the reading action :)
Laura, I've friend requested you at goodreads to keep up with your progress when you accept the friendship.. Best wishes!
Enjoy your week's reading..
I found your blog via Bout of Books and wanted to say how fabulous the photo you put on this post is! If I had that hammock to read in I would never get anything else done!
I haven't heard of Summer before. Nice poem though. Thanks for joining in the fun!
HaHa Mary R - that's perfect! just wishing I had the weather for it :)
LuV reading outdoors!...
THANKS, HarleyBearBooks - def FuN!
Wow, great job on the read-a-thon! I finished only four books and one was a graphic novel. Of course I might have read a little more if I hadn't also been watching season 2 of Game of Thrones on DVD. I fully admit that while watching Jack Reacher last night, I got bored during the shoot em' up scenes and started reading Dead Ever After (much more interesting!).
The Colleen Coble book looks good. I haven't read her books in awhile and that series is new to me.
Congrats on all you accomplished during Bout of Books; Twelve books is unfathomable to me. Also, you have reminded me to read Louisa May Alcott's The Inheritance so thank you for that.
Awake (A Fairytale) and Persistent Love both look like great reads. A lot of books here - enjoy reading!
Take a look at what I'm reading this week.
Wow look at the reading ninja go!! Congrats on knocking your goal outta the park!! Did your eyes roll back inside your head? I am getting old, as evidenced by my eye strain when reading for too long at once. Sadness.
Here is my Memes post. Have a great week!
Majestic and Wild has a beautiful cover. Colleen Coble is one of my favorite authors. I can't get enough of her books. I'm currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer.
