Bout of Books Read-a-Thon Goal Post

I only have to study for a physics test and write an extra credit paper this week, so I figured that I could do this read-a-thon since I would have so much free time. Not to mention, I really need to shrink my TBR pile, especially since people will be staying over during my graduation party, so I don't want them to go all crazy when they see the endless piles of books in my room, lol.

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

Anyway, the read-a-thon is a week long event and was created by Amanda @ On a Book Bender. Here's more information (taken from the site) if you want to join too! :)

  • It is a week long read-a-thon, usually from 12:01am on a Monday through 11:59pm on a Sunday in whatever time zone you are in.
  • Bout of Books is low pressure, meaning participants are only asked to push themselves to read more than they normally would during any given week.  There is no competition between readers.
  • How much time a reader wants, and can commit, to read, tweet, or network with fellow bloggers is left to individual preference.  All challenges and giveaways are optional.
  • Networking with fellow bloggers is actively encouraged, though never required.  Co-hosts are there to facilitate blog hopping and interaction between participants.
  • Use Twitter to post updates throughout the read-a-thon.  Everyone will be tweeting with the #boutofbooks hashtag.

You can sign up here.

My goal is to read at least four books. I'm not going to plan out which books that I want to read since my mood changes so easily, but I figured that it would be easier for me to just make this post my update post, too, to save space and time. So yeah! Here's hoping I'll actually read that many books this week! :D
