Bout of Books Read-A-Thon Sign Up, Goals, & Updates

I kept seeing this read-a-thon pop up on so many blogs over the past week. I became very curious so I had to give it a closer look. I finally decided to participate! This is the first time that I am participating in Bout of Books and I'm pretty excited! So here is my very last minute sign up and goals post! I'm super excited! (Just in case you couldn't tell by my overuse of exclamation points!)

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 blog.

~ Participate in at least one challenge.
~ Discover new book blogs.
