Big renouncement .... Am entering Bout of Books Read-a-thon boutofbooks.blogspot.com/ this year. Not only is it my first year entering but its also my first ever! So some very exciting things to come YAY
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 cant wait for it to start am already in serious training for it...queue the theme from Rocky :P
Hopefully I have followed the sign up correctly since now am getting first blogging/read-a-ton nerves, as I am not aware of a current term for this I shall be calling it COLD PAGES from here on!
Time Devoted to Reading
I will be reading ALL WEEK!! which is just too exciting. I am waiting to get confirmation on when I get to start my new job (which is also very exciting) so if I have work during the week my reading will have to fit around it.
My Goals
- To really get stuck in and enjoy my first Book-a-thon
- Join in as many twitter chats at I can
- Get tasty snacks so I am not jealous of others snacks
- Try and add to my normal page count
- Try to vary some of my reading
- Find other devoted readers
Books to Read
Most likely The Sookie Stackhouse novels though will update nearer the time, when I have my book pile better assembled. Will also be listening to audio books so will also have to update as to which book am listening to at the time.
Any advice or snack recommendations please comment :)
