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 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd 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 completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I just wanted to make it official that I am participating! Please come join me.
Super Bookworm 
This sounds like so much fun! Can you share some more information on what it is or what sorts of challenges exist? I’m considering joining but I’m not sure i know what it’s all about! 🙂
If you click on the words Bout of Books, it will take you to their website where it will give you all of the information that you are looking for, like challenges and dates.
I did that – but the challenge links just take you to other peoples’ blogs. I was hoping to get your flavor of what the event is or is like.
It is a week where you try to read as many books as possible. They have a template on goals you will have for yourself, however, I believe that the actual challenges will happen the day of. We still have four days before they post any reading challenges. I just think that they were showing you who will be hosting what.
This sounds fun. I’ll have to try this out after I finish my writing challenge.
Just so everyone knows, there is an add your link to the bottom of the sign up, click on that and attach your name
Good luck, Melissa – hope you have fun! 🙂
