Bout of Books

It’s baaaack…Bout of Books Read-a-thon!

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

So, I’m now gearing up to participate for my second adventure because I had so much fun last time. I plan to join in a twitter chat, read bloggers’ updates, and try my hand at some contests.

For this Bout of Books I’m going to challenge myself to:

1. Finish Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell (I just started and am loving the voice.)

2. Read More Than You Know by Beth Gutcheon (This ghosty novel is wending its way to my house this very minute.)

3. Listen to Joyland by Stephen King (I’ve already borrowed this from the library.)

4. Comment on 3 blogs a day and participate in 2 challenges (besides my own).

5. Have fun!

How about you? Will you join me for Bout of Books? What will you read?

  1. I hear a lot of people enjoyed Joyland!! I love King… so usually anything by him is right up my alley. I haven’t read Joyland yet, but Doctor Sleep is sitting on my nightstand!

    1. Angie,

      I’m listening to Joyland right now, and I love it. Lately I’ve been really hooked by books with heart. I just finished Eleanor & Park, which has great heart, and Joyland is turning out to be another one.
