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
It's time once again for a Bout of Books read-a-thon! This is only the second one I've done, so I'm really excited to be participating. The read-a-thon runs for a week and I'm really hoping to make something of a dent (no matter how small!) in my review pile - which is completely out of control. :)
I don't really go by goals for these - I just try to read as much as I can during the week. As for what I'll be reading, I'm going to do a couple that need to be read for upcoming blog tours and *hopefully* I'll have some time for some January ARCs I got from publishers for review. Here's a sample of what I hope to read:
For Blog Tours
For Review
Ugh - I really just want to read those pretties for review right now! I hope I'll be able to get to at least one of them!

I'll be updating my progress on this page, as well as on Twitter (@adreamindream) and my Facebook page.
Good luck to everyone who's participating!! I hope you reach your goals, read lots of great books, and have fun! Link me up if you're participating!
This is my second time too! I hear Splintered is really good. Haven't heard of any of the others. I'm excited to start. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Splintered and The Archieved. I really should try to get to Broken, too. It sounds so fabulous, I meant to read it over Christmas and it just hasn't happened. *ponders*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you have a great week. Happy reading!
The Edge of Never is really great! You will love it:) Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Splintered! Can't wait to read it myself:)
ReplyDeleteWow you are really doing a great job so far. I wish I had done some more reading this week but oh well I did what I could.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
