Bout of Books Readathon TBR and Goals

The Bout of Books read-a-thon begins on Monday.  For those of you who may not know what this is, here is the official blurb:

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, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

In this post, I will be discussing my goals for the read-a-thon.  First off, let us discuss my TBR.  I am super excited about all the books that are on my list.  My TBR list is just a list of the books that I will pull from for this read-a-thon.
