Book lovers unite in a new bout!

Actually, bout has two meanings

1. contest among antagonists

2. a period of time spent in a pursuit

I’m going to go with the second definition and so should you. Here’s why:

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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

Please join me and a whole bunch of other readers for a week engaged in our favorite activity. We’ll read and chat all week. So catch up on your beauty sleep while there’s still time!

Tell me. Are you planning to try your hand…er, eyes…at some reading during the bout? What will you read? Me? I have no idea except that some ghosts will be involved…
