Bout of Books - Start-up

Bout of Books 7.0 read-a-thon is finally here! 

I've been so excited for this and after I write this start-up post 

 I'm going straight to reading. Today I can catch around 5 hours of reading before work, so I hope I can manage that. The whole week will be hectic sine I work afternoons, but hopefully I'l reach my goals. I've finally settled on a few books but I'll probably add more or switch those up a bit. So far I know i'll be reading:

• The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
• Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
• Partials by Dan Wells
• Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
• On The Island by Tracey Garvis Graves

You can follow my updates on Twitter and on Wednesday I'll be posting the update post with today's and tomorrow's progress. You can link up your updates under this post!

Bout of Books 7.0 - goals

So just one more week is left before the official start of Bout of Books 7.0 read-a-thon. During the next week I'll try to push my writing aside and focus more on the reading. I plan to visit most of the participating blogs, if nothing else just to say hello and cheer them on. 

I plan to participate in at least one twitter chat, I hope I can manage that even with my rough working schedule. And of course if I can throw my entries in some of the challenges... that would be pretty great too.

As for the books I'll be reading, I haven't yet decided on a whole list, but I've picked the first two books. I plan to post them all once the BoB starts, even though I don't like to plan my reading, I usually just go by my instinct. However I'm 100% sure I'll be reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. I've heard nothing but good things about the first one and am really excited about the second one. So these two are for sure. Others... we'll see. (:

What do you plan to read? Will you be participating in chats? ^^

Bout of Books 7.0

"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 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th 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 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books." - From the Bout of Books team

This will be my third BoB read-a-thon and I'm pretty sure it will be another epic experience. I love it how it connects readers, bloggers, everyone! The Twitter parties are always a lot of fun, since a bunch of us is usually goofing about random things like bananas and cherry popping. It's great to stick your head just into books and blogging atmosphere for 6 days and 'be' around people that are interested in the same things. This is just a sign-up post and an invitation to everyone else to join me and others on Bout of Books, I promise you won't be sorry. (:
