I am going to participate again in this read-a-thon! I really need to get caught up on some books and when I saw others participating in it I knew it was perfect for me. I almost missed out on it this time around. I decided to go ahead and check the bout of books website to see when the next one is and walla!! It starts on the 7th!
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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 6.0 team
Don't forget to use the #boutofbooks hashtag when updating on Twitter and follow boutofbooks.
I will be updating my progress here and on my my twitter page.
Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading 4 hours a day/during the week/ not exactly sure how much reading I will get in on the weekend. On Saturday I will be busy so not really sure about that day.
My Goals:
I would like to read 4 books. I am in the middle of a Harry Potter re-read and really would like to get it done this week. I am also reading Beautiful Creatures for my book club. I would like to participate in a twitter chat. I participated in one last time around and it was a lot of fun and a GREAT place to get advice from other people.
Just figured out the pages... so these 4 books total 2844 pages. So I will have to read about 400 pages a day!!
