Button from Bout of Books blog Progress: 355/950 pages (37%) | Contestant number: 727 ~ Plethora Day 7 of Bout of Books Read-A-Thon. Accomplishments from Day 6: I made a bit of progress yesterday, still many pages from my ultimate goal, but another mini-goal is completed! Sad to see that tomorrow is the final day of the Read-A-Thon, it has been fun and tried to get me back on track so I can work on my year long challenge bars.

I thought it would be fun if we all tried to come up with a new title for our current read, or really anything we’ve read during this Bout of Books 10. For me, a great title can really go a long way toward making me want to read a book and I thought it would be fun to play with that concept a little bit. Your new title can be something you ACTUALLY think would make a good title, or just something descriptive or something funny! It’s totally up to you!
