Getting pumped to start Bout of Books 10! Here’s what I’d like to accomplish:
My goals
- Catch up on writing/posting reviews of books read in April:
- Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
- The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan
- The Round House by Louise Erdrich
- Finish reading two books I started recently:
- The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood (plus review post)
- The Explorer by James Smythe (plus review post)
- Continue/get into reading Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon
- Participate in at least one #boutofbooks Twitter chat
- Participate in at least two challenges/giveaways
- Comment on at least 10 fellow participants’ blogs
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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

Great mix of social and reading goals! I hope you have a fun Bout of Books 🙂
Thanks! I was so excited I thought Bout of Books started today instead of tomorrow…!
Thanks for reminding me that I should be commenting on other Bout of Books blogs!
I was terrible about that the last time around… (haven’t had a chance to participate since 7.0 maybe?) but mostly that was due to my lack of internet at home that summer… long story… moving hell
Good luck with your goals, and most important, have fun!
I can’t participate in this one because I have to study a lot, but I will eventually, I’m sure!
I will! I haven’t participated in the last couple BoBs, just too busy or out of town or whatever. But I’m happy to be back in this time around! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
