Another RaT? Yes Please!! Bout of Books RaT!

I'm glad to have found this awesome community of Read-a-Thoners. :) The 24 Hour RaT was sooooo much fun for me, even if I've only slept for an hour in the last 32 hours! (I couldn't fall asleep after the RaT, I ended up dozing just an hour.)

So, I'm definitely going to join, for the first time, the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon.

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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. ~ from Bout of Books team


I'm looking forward to doing another one, even if more relaxed. I plan to get loads of reading done. I'm not, nor will I ever be, into the whole "twitter" thing. I am a LONG WINDED person, so "tweets" just don't do anything for me. It kind of stinks because I know I missed out on a lot of Dewey's 24 Hr RaT action on Twitter and I likely will miss out on some with this, but if you have a blog, I'll be happy to follow along, just leave me a comment and I'll add you to my Bloglovin' feed. I loved checking in with others during the 24 hr RaT, so I'm sure I will again for this one!

My Bout of Books Goals

Time devoted to Reading 

•  Daily, most of the day, keeping offline except for updates, so I'm not distracted

GOAL

• Complete at least EIGHT (8), changed to TWELVE (12), books
• Start (but perhaps not finish) at least 2 others
• Complete at least 2 series in which I only have 1 book left to read

Books to Read

• I don't like to plan ahead, but here are some possibilities
