Button from Bout of Books blog Progress: 135/950 pages (14%) | Contestant number: 727 ~ Plethora (new number, guess some people deleted links) Day 4 of Bout of Books Read-A-Thon. Accomplishments from Day 3: Well, I spent some time yesterday doing a bit of reorganizing on my blog instead of reading. So a scare few pages had been accomplished yesterday. I do have a few hours this afternoon when I should be able to sneak in some reading, barring some unforeseen circumstance I don't know about yet. So tomorrow's update should finally break 100 pages read in one day, as my totals so far have been paltry.

I can give you a hint, they are all non-fiction historical books, some are out and some soon to be released. Little more information to the right of each letter. I have read two of these so far, letter E and A, the others are in my TBR pile.
