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 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.
I took part in Bout of Books 7.0 in May and knew I wanted to take part in the next one as well if I could.
Well I am ready and I have my goal set up too.
My goal is to finish 3 books:
I have to finish Life of Pi and Unwind, and then I want to finish one of the other 3 books on my list.
1. Life of Pi by Yann Martel (currently reading)
2. Unwind by Neal Shusterman
3. Watership Down by Richard Adams
4. Assassin's Aprentice by Robin Hobb
5. Seas of Venus by David Drake
Hi, I'm joining the readathon too! I really really loved Unwind! Have a nice week;)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first Bout of Books. I'm enjoying finding many new to me book bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI have the audio of Watership Down on my ipod but it's not on my plans for this week. It's been years since I first read it and I think audio might be a good option for re-reading.
Good luck with your goal and have fun!
