I participated in Bout of Books last year for their 9th run, so exactly a year ago. Once again, I'm on winter break and Bout of Books is conveniently happening just before I head back to school -- perfect timing!
For those of you who haven't heard about Bout of Books before, here's a little blurb straight from their website explaining what exactly Bout of Books is all about:
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 probably post a reading list of books I want to read during the event on Sunday once I get a better idea of where I am book-wise in my current TBR pile. If you haven't participated before, I definitely think you should! Winter is the perfect time to curl up with a blanket and a good book and read-a-thons are always a blast. Let me know down below if you plan on participating and we can keep each other motivated!
Yay, Bout of Books! How much are you planning to read everyday? Looking forward to seeing your reading list!
ReplyDeleteJust posted my TBR (http://unboundbooksblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/bout-of-books-120-read-thon-tbr.html)! Basically, I'm going to try to read about a book a day...we'll see if that actually happens :)
