Bout of Books 9.0 - Sign-Up, Goals and Updates

Ever since I participated in Bout of Books for the first time last year, I’ve been looking forward to joining in the fun again and now the wait is over - it starts tomorrow! I always end up having a bit of a reading break around Christmas and I’m still getting back into it so a read-a-thon sounds perfect, especially since I’m trying to keep on top of the goals and challenges I’ve set myself – I don’t want to get behind! In case you have no idea what I’m talking about:

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.

I was very happy with what I accomplished last time so I plan to stick to that again:

My Goals:
- Read at least 5 books - Titles TBD
- Participate in 2 challenges
- Participate in 1 Twitter chat
- Chat with other participants & discover new blogs
