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, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
I think I participated in one or two read-a-thons over the course of two years. I don't know why I never tried participating anymore, I think I just lost touch with all the amazing read-a-thons out there. But NOW is the time to get back into blogging full-time, and with full-force (as you will see in the nearby future!)
-- My Goals --
- Read about 5 books received for review
- Read 3 books of your choice that interest you the most
- Participate in most of the Twitter Chats
- Comment everyday on four (or more) posts from other bloggers who have participated in this read-a-thon

Final Tally:
I haven't had the chance to read any of the books on your list but hopefully you will enjoy them all. It has been awhile since I last participate in a read-a-thon as well but I am definitely needing the extra reading time. Good luck and have fun :)
ReplyDeletewell, thank you so much for stopping by :)
DeleteOoh a nice mix of books. People always seem to love Jennifer Echols's work! And Blood Promise is one of my fave VA books. Wasn't a huge fan of The 100 (I prefer the TV show) but hope you enjoy all the books, and good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteShe has very nice books, and I am sure that I will like Blood Promise! Thanks for being here
DeleteI am really curious about how much The 100 book is simailar to the tv show. Great TBR pile you got there. Happy reading :)

Well, I haven't watched the tv show, so I HAVE NO IDEA.

Good luck with your goals!! There are some interesting books on your TBR. I've been wanting to start the Superlatives series for a while now.
