The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long readathon that begins 12:01 am Monday, May 9th and runs through Sunday, May 15th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are entirely optional. For all Bout of Books 16 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
It’s that time again! Now that I’m working full-time, I won’t be able to lounge around all week doing nothing but reading, but I’m determined not to let that stop me from reading every day instead of doing other things with my free time. And let me tell you, as soon as I have useable vacation time, I’m using it for Bout of Books!
My Goals
- Read for at least 2 hours each day.
- Read my ARCs.
- Finish at least one book, but I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish two.

Updates
I will be posting an update each day with the amount of time I read, the number of pages read that day and the titles of any of the books I’ve finished.
That sounds lovely. I might join. I do read every day. I stopped watching TV pretty much. But I’m not sure I can manage 2 hours each day 🙂
You don’t have to do 2 hours every day. The great thing about Bout of Books is that you set your own goals.
I’ll put it on my calendar. Is there an official sign up?
Yep, clicking on the picture or the link in the description will take you to the official page.
Good luck and happy reading! 😀
