What better way to start of 2014 than a READ-A-THON! And a week long one at that, with tons of fabulous giveaways and mini-challenges. Wanna participate? Here's the deets:
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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books teamMy Goals:
Read at LEAST 1 book a day. I can TOTALLY DO THIS! And twitter chat with all you lovely fellow book readers. Take NOTES during my reading, tag things i like, highlight, whatever! And most importantly, make sure i have fun!
My TBR:
1. The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
2. The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
3. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
4. Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter
5. Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning
6. Cinders & Sapphires by Leila Rasheed
7. Angelfall by Susan Ee
I got Angelfall for Christmas so that's a contender for my Bout pile, I also have Seraphina and Catherynne M Valente's book on my shelves... All unread. I've decided just to pick one, dammit, on the day! Lol. My goal is 5 books which I hope isn't beyond me. One book an evening virtually and if I start reading at 4.30pm I might get it done... Possibly... :-) Good luck honey!
ReplyDeleteOh I saw just Perfect Scoundrels at the library the other day and I knew I should have gotten it lol Good luck on your goal!
