Bout of Books Read-a-Thon 9.0

I am excited to be doing my first read-a-thon! I have no idea how many books I will be able to get through, but I figured I would give it a shot. 

Bout of Books
Official blurb from Bout of Books:
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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.   - From the Bout of Books team
Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading any chance I get. I still have to work four days a week, but I still have mornings and evenings to read. I will also be reading a lot on my days off.
My Goals
I will attempt to finish 5 books. I've never really thought about how many books I read in a week, so this may be a high or a low number. No idea. If I do better than that then great.  Wish me luck. :)
