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
I’ve never done a read-a-thon before, and I’m a little unsure of it because I’m going back to school next week but it’s low pressure and I would be reading anyway. I’ll just try to read more than usual! Sounds fun!
A Blighted One 
Yay! Glad you’re jumping into the fray. 🙂
Thanks! I’ve been teetering on it but I wanted to do it so I’m going to try it out!
Good luck! I just participated in my first readathon and I loved it.
Thank you! I’m excited!
Hope you enjoy the readathon!
I’m looking forward to this one, I’ve done Bout of Books before and it’s a really fun event.
Thank you! It sounds fun, I am excited!
Love read-a-thons. jumping around and meeting people are my favorite part. Maybe I’ll join this one too. I did my first read -a-thon this summer, careful they are addictive. Good luck with starting school back.
I’m excited about meeting people! I will try not to get addicted! =) And thanks!
