It's time to gear up for another read-a-thon. I missed out on the Dewey's 24-Hour read-a-thon this weekend, and I haven't participated in an organized read-a-thon since December. So, it is definitely time!!
Thanks to the lovely Amanda and Kelly, we have Bout of Books 7.0.
from Bout of Books
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 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
I refuse to list the books I "plan" to read because I hardly ever stick to that list plus I find it limiting. So the only goal I want to meet is to read at least 2000 pages and possibly get in a few rereads. There are some verse novels that deserve some attention BUT I'm not listing specific titles!! I'm also looking forward to participating in at least one twitter chat and meeting some new bloggers and readers.
If you are even remotely interested in participating, you should. It's one of the best read-a-thons around - no pressure and lots of fun!
I'll update here on my blog and on Twitter: @ActinUpwb
Oh a pages goal is a great idea! I always go 'off list' too, so I might have to use that approach too.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first BoB and my second read-a-thon (my first was Dewey's in April). They are lot of fun. I had a goal of three books or 1000 pages for this read-a-thon. I slid in with three books just under the wire.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you at the next Dewey's and Bout of Books!
