Bout of books 10.0

I have decided to participate in this readathon! Since it is my first week of summer vacation, this is a great way to start them! I have still work, but school is done :) so I will be having lots of extra time to read. This is the second time I participate in one of bout of books readathons, they are tons of fun.

The Bout of Books 10.0 will start on May 12th -so in a couple of hours for me now- and is going to end on May 18th at midnight. Here is a much more broad explanation of what it involves:

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. For all Bout of Books 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

The books I am planning to tackle this week include:

*the last 400 pages of The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov (this is my priority, since it is a library book and I need to return it)
*Cuentos Completos I de Julio Cortázar (I've been reading this for like a month and a half, and I really need to finish it)
*Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
*Saeculum by Ursula Poznanski

I realize it is an ambitious goal, but I will push to get through it.

Join the readathon, it is so much fun!
Have a very productive reading week!
