Have you read any of the Outlander series? I am kind of scared to move on to book three, Voyager. I don't want to be let down.

UGH! Shenanigans surround. Can't sit and hold a book right now. I am switching to an audiobook so that I can multi-task.

I have decided to play it by ear and not pre-select my books. I am going to start with The Bad Boy Billionaire's Wicked Arrangement by Maya Rodale. I got an email from Avon Romance saying that it is free via download from multiple vendors (deal ends Monday, May 12).





The book is "the first installment of a sexy series about a modern-day heroine writing historical novels based on her romantic misadventures with the Bad Boy Billionaire."

Let me know what you think of the book if you decide to download a copy and read it.



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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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.

  2. Congrats on meeting your reading goals. I want one of those reading bags. LOL!

    Last week was really busy for me. I got all of my reading done, but I didn't get to visit other participants. I am visiting throughout this week. http://madhoydenish.blogspot.com/2014/05/bout-of-books-10-read-thon-sign-up-and.html
