Currently Reading:
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Elite by Kiera Cass

Thoughts on current book: I am thoroughly enjoying The Hobbit! I have no idea why I waited so long to continue reading this after I put it down in January...
I am only a little of the way through The Elite, so there isn't much to say about it yet. HOWEVER, I am a little anxious as my good friend told me how she didn't like it as much. She said something along the lines of... "It'll make you so angry. You will want to throw the book across the room. No joke." See what I mean? Hmm.

My poor heart has been shredding by The Summer Garden, but I thought it was a fantastic finale to the Bronze Horseman trilogy.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret was a well-needed break from romance and such, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Definitely what I needed :)

I also added a couple of books to my Read-a-thon TBR!
- The Prince by Kiera Cass
- Exceptional by Jess Petosa

Bout of Books 7.0

What's this? Another read-a-thon? I sure am liking the sounds of this! It is coming up pretty soon, and if you aren't sure about what it is then have a read:

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.
- From the Bout of Books team

So I have prepared a list of books I would like to read during the week:

- The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons
- The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
- The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
- The Selection by Kiera Cass

Hopefully I can get through a chunk of this month's TBR, if not finish them, and I have included a couple of other books I have been meaning to read for a little while now.

Will anyone be partaking in this read-a-thon?
