Bout of Books BannerI’ve signed up to participate in Bout of Books 7.0, which will be held May 13th-19th! I’ve participated in one of these before, and it was so much fun. I’m really looking forward to this upcoming Read-A-Thon. You should join us! Here’s more details:

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’m already eyeing my bookshelf (physical and e-books) and starting to put together a list of books I want to read. My plan is to publish a Bout of Books Updates post on the start date, May 13th, and just update that single post with my progress during the week. I may include a list of books as a goal, but I’m always hesitant to do this because I’m such a mood reader. It’s a strange phenomenon, but as soon as specify a list, suddenly all my other books look more appealing! 🙂

I’ll also be socializing when I can, and posting updates to Twitter with the #boutofbooks hashtag. This is such a fun part (for me) with participating in these kind of events. Of course, this is dependent on how work goes that week, and if I have time.

Let me know if you sign up so we can cheer each other along, and happy reading!

    I’m going to participate in Bout of Books and I am so excited. It will be my first time participating in any kind of readathon, and I am sooooo in the mood. But I’m also a huge mood reader, so I doubt I will list specific either. I might put together a pile of books that I want to choose from though.

    I’m excited for this too! You can always post a list and then if you change your mind that’s ok too.
