Bout of Books Read-A-Thon: Sign-up, Goals, & Updates

Well, I just can't say no to a Bout of Books read-a-thon! This challenge is perfect for me since this will be my last read-a-thon before I start classes for grad school. Let's see how many fun books I can read this week. If you haven't participated in Bout of Books before then you really should. It's fun, you set your own goals, and you can win prizes!

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th 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 18 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
