This is really last minute, but I've never participated in a read-a-thon before and don't have much to do this week, so I thought I'd sign myself up for this little challenge. Info:
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
You can find a more information about it on their website. I'm not going to tie myself down to a certain number of books (I usually start to not want to read them if I do), but some things I'd really like to start/finish:
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
- The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
- Arclight by Josin. L. McQuien
- If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin
- Breaking Point by Kristen Simmons

Sounds like fun!! Just found your site. Following you on GFC :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll checking out your site as well. :D
DeleteI also didn't really want to tie myself to a certain number of books, so I just want to read 4-6 books. I think I'm only get 4 books read, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the read-A-Thon :D
I hate feeling like I HAVE to read a certain amount of books, you know? Reading should be fun. Good luck with yours, too! :)
DeleteMy goal is 4 because I usually read 2 during the week. So jealous of The 5th Wave and Arclight! And you can never go wrong with HP! Hope you enjoy the read a thon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll try! 2 is what I usually do as well so I'm aiming for 3. :)
