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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books 6.0 team.
My goals for this read-a-thon are:
1) read review book that is due this week: Until Next Time by Amy Lingor
2) read The Pledge by Kimberly Derting
3) listen to audiobook of Twilight (this was my Mom's and I felt like listening to it because it was one of her favourite books ever - I really miss her)
*might add more if I have time, but this is probably as good as it gets for me

Notes: I was sitting at the courthouse all day waiting to testify on a case for my work because I was called as a witness so I read as much as I could of The Pledge. I didn't finish my book and the court case got pushed to a later date. That was my day.

Books: The Pledge
Notes: Finished The Pledge this afternoon - I cannot wait to get my hands on The Essence! Made it through half of Until Next Time (hoping to be done this inthe next few days) and finished 1 CD of the Twilight audiobook. I had hoped to finish all three books this week, but packing and work took up most of my time.

What are your goals? Leave links in the comments and I will come by to check out your progress too!
I love that we are adding audiobooks to our goals. Have a great time with Bout o Books!
ReplyDeleteThanks you too!
DeleteGood luck! Audiobooks are so fun, especially when it has a good narrator and/or cast.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in love with audiobooks actually. :)
DeleteI'll be curious to see what you think of Until Next Time. I read it last year and don't know many other friends/bloggers who have read it. I've never listened to an audiobook, I've been saying for at least a year that I'd try them, but my mind wanders easily lol. Good luck with your reading/listening!
ReplyDeleteI am really liking it so far. Hoping to finish it tonight if I can. And I love audiobooks so much, but it depends on the narrator because sometimes that can ruin a good book. :)
