Bout of Books 13.0

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, May 11th and runs through Sunday, May 17th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 13 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

If you don’t know, Bout of Books is an amazing read-a-thon because it’s super casual and the chats are awesome. Also, the extra motivation to read doesn’t hurt (especially if you’re five books behind on your challenge like I am).

GOALS

My goal is to take part in the chats which means having a  fun, casual reading week. That’s it, really. (I might also start Melina Marchetta’s Saving Francesca to freak Ellis out).

I also plan to comment on other participating blogs and tweet about my reading progress!
