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 team
My Comments -
I joined last year, but didn't really participate. I was completely new to the read-a-thon scene and this was the first I attempted. Hoping, with a few under my belt now, to do better this year. This week I should be able to get some decent reading done.
I merged the goal post and sign-up post into one post as it didn't make sense for me to make two back-to-back.
