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
I have never taken part in a read-a-thon in the almost three years I have been blogging. Mainly because I haven't had the time. But for the Bout of Books read-a-thon that is taking place next week, I actually have time. No school commitments, no work commitments. I can actually do it. This is pretty exciting for me. I'll be keeping track of my progress at the bottom of this post and on Twitter- so make sure to follow me.
So for the week I have a list of six books- considering I am a VERY slow reader this is a pretty ambitious "goal". But since I am still on the hunt for a job I have A LOT of time. I don't anticipate that I will get through all the books mentioned below. Hopefully the first four at the very least. Wish me luck.
1)
2)
3)
4) The S-Word by Chelsea Pritcher
5) Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Geneieve Tucholke
6) Duma Key by Stephen King

Happy Reading Everyone!
You have a very good stack of books! Good luck! Balancing a readathon with work can be overwhelming, but you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI have heard such good things about Eleanor and Park! Plus, my name is Eleanor so I just know it'll be awesome :) Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of Eleanor and Park. I've heard such great things! Good luck this week!
ReplyDeleteI loved Eleanor and Park. Dare You To is on my list to read soon. Hope you enjoy all your great reads this week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you are participating in this readathon. I would like to do one, too, but I'm such a slow reader at the moment (even though I finished The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa, LOONG BOOK today). Siege and Storm <3 Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of pages! Looks like you have made great progress during this BoB.
