Official Blurb:
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, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Don't have a blog? Make a YouTube video! There are several ways to sign up, just remember, no direct link equals no grand prize opportunity.
My Goals
Read some each day (easy goal, I always do this)
comment on at least two blogs each day
Twitter updates
read one non-fiction
read/review one review book
read one of the following:
- Howard's Gift by Eric C. Sinoway with Merrill Meadow (non-fiction)
- Weight of Deeds by Eli Thrope (short stories)
- One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake
- What the Duke Desires by Sabrina Jeffries
- Informed Risk by Robyn Carr
- And Then She Fell by Stephanie Laurens
- Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
- State of the Onion by Julie Hyzy
NO OVERLAPS! Howard's Gift is a non-fiction review book and can not count for all three goals.
I read 1,885 and then some pages during my last RaT which was a high week for me. I'm not sure what page goal to shoot for, maybe just the three books.
