The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner 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

I finished Shiver and listened to part of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren while I finally got some cleaning done around the apartment.  Then I settled onto the couch with a blanket and my cat to relax with The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble.
