Bout of Books 4.0

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon


Bout of Books 4.0 starts on Monday and I'm looking forward to this low-pressure read-a-thon. For details on signing up, go to Bout of Books and check it out. There will be some challenges, giveaways, and twitter chats. The schedule can be found here.

My Goals
  • Read 1500 pages
  • Read one e-book
  • Read one book that has been on my shelf for over a year
  • Read 2 books for review and write the reviews
  • Participate in some challenges
  • Have Fun!!
Updates - I will post all of my updates here. So that I don't feel bad about myself, I'm going to count the number of pages read instead of total of books.

    Best of luck Joli! I think counting pages is a good way of doing it. Books can be so varied in size. At least pages are a little more consistent.

    I like keeping track by pages too, but I still count books. Great goals! Good luck and have fun!

    I hope you enjoy your books. I like the page count- I may do that too.

    I'm going to be doing page counts too, since I'll be reading a book that I've already started, but will also have how many I've completed. Good luck!
