Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

With BookCon around the corner and my resistance to finish Allegiant I think a read-a-thon is just what I need!  I mean, seriously Allegiant...I'm not loving the back and forth perspective here!!!

I've been wanting to join a read-a-thon for a while now but I always seem to find out about them either right after they've finished or a solid half way through the fun.

After just missing out on the last Dewey's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon in April I decided to get my shit together and seek out upcoming read-a-thons!  THANKFULLY there was one right around the corner!  I was so pumped to have discovered the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon!  It starts next Monday and lasts all week!  This timing is even more perfect because we'll be heading on a little road trip mid-next week and I'll have a TON of time to soak in all the words and really crush some reading goals!

This will be my very fist ever read-a-thon and I simply couldn't be more thrilled to make some progress on my TBR and share the excitement of becoming absorbed into a new world with a ton of new bookish buddies! 

If you're interested in joining the fun, make sure to check out the Bout of Books blog!! 

Here's a little blub from their site with the what:

     "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 9th and runs through Sunday, May 15th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 16 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team"

 

 

My Goals for the Bout of Books 2016 Read-a-Thon:

 

I'm going to keep my goals pretty generic so not to stress myself out and end up feeling like a failure if I don't end up being very successful with this experience!  I want to keep this light and fun so to really enjoy the whole ordeal.  So, that being said...my only real goal for this read-a-thon is to read!  I will plan to read at least a little every day during the week and am really going to make an effort to reduce the size of my TBR pile, which has gotten a little out of control lately!  And that my friends is it! 

 

Happy reading, darlings!
