Bout of Books 9.0

by

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 12:01 am 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 9.0 team
This is my second time taking part in Bout of Books and it was a sudden decision because I’ve to tackle a couple of ARCs this week and I will need all the motivation I can get. I’ll also be traveling this week to another city to give my thesis defense in two weeks. Sounds like a good way to procrastinate, right? It’ll also help ease my nerves.

GOALS

My main goal is to read at least two books from the ones below. I just started Uninvited today which has been going great so far.

I reached my goal of finishing at least two books and for that I’m happy. I’d have read more but with travelling and going out, I really couldn’t. So there’s that but it was fun and that’s all that matters when it comes to Bout of Books.

  1. You brave soul! 🙂 I must be living under a rock, because I've never heard of this readathon before… I'm way too busy to take part, but I'm wishing you lots of good luck with yours! You've got this in the bag, I'm sure.
