This week, I’m on holiday, which is lovely. Not just for the break but for the fact that it means I’ll be able to just read. To make sure I do, and don’t get distracted by the TV too much, I thought I would set myself a challenge, linking in with Bout of Books Read-a-thon. The read-a-thon is a week, starting Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th and is a reading competition with yourself – set the number of books you plan to read and try to achieve it.

I’ve set myself a challenge of four books and will update via twitter as I go. They are:

1. Middlemarch by George Elliot

2. The Long Legged Fly by James Sallis

3. Emma’s Secret by Steena Holmes

4. The Ties That Bind by Erin Kelly

I’d like to try for five but think Middlemarch will need some time. Still, the timing couldn’t be better for me and it sounds like fun so here goes…
