Bout of Books 9.0 (Updated 1/10/14)

I've been trying to find new ways to expand my reading habits and get through books at a faster pace. As of lately, the stress from school has made my read life virtually non-existent. So I've decided to start my first ever read a thon, and I'm excited. The Bout of Books 9.0 is beginning soon and I'm excited to challenge myself, read some much awaited TBRs, and most of all get out of the reading slump that's been consuming me lately.


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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
