Bout of Books 9.0

 

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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

 

 

 

I'll have another post with the books I'm planning on reading but I'm super excited for this read-a-thon.  I've participated in one of these before and it was so much fun.

Bout of Books 7.0 Read-a-Thon

Sooooo...I've never done a read-a-thon before.  Ever.  Let's see how this goes.

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 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

My Goals:

Read and review all the books I have planned

Be active on the blogs that are participating

Participate in tweet chats #BoutOfBooks (if I can figure out how lol)

My Reading Goal: I want to read more books in a week than I usually do, so I'm going to shoot for 7-10 books.

The Books I Plan To Read:

Of course, this is a tentative list, since I don't actually own The Elite or Dark Triumph (I'm ordering them for my birthday on May 8), and I've given Stolen Away and Graffiti Moon a chance before (I read like the first page and gave up) so I'm giving them a go now, but if I don't like them I'll replace them.  And, of course, I'll have a wrap up.  Hopefully this read-a-thon will cure my reading slump, and I'll have some reviews to post for you guys! :)

I'm going to re-post this one May 13, when the readathon starts.  I'll also update my stats on that page.  I'll link to it in the sidebar (when I post) just in case you guys are interested in checking it out :)

Are you guys gonna join?  Let me know!! :)
