Bout of Books 8.0
I have decided to participate in the Bout of Books event. I have been in a bit of a reading slump and could really use the motivation to get back into my rhythm. This will be my first blogging event and I am really excited. A friend of mine, Angie at
told me about this event and I am very grateful that she did. Here is the little blurb about what this event is.

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 teamSince this is my first event I am really looking forward to this. As mentioned, I have been in a bit of a reading slump for a little while. I don't have a lot of time to read these days, but when I do I find other things to fill my time. I have also been reading more graphic novels recently because I can finish them in one quick sitting. The worst part about my slump is that I have two amazing books I am reading right now. When I pick these up to read, I can't put them down, but once I stop I find it difficult to want to pick them back up. I know that this event is not for a little while but if I am still in my slump my goal is to finish what I have in front of me during that week. I will post a separate goals and progress post during the event. That way I can update with progress and any challenges I participate in each day. Here is hoping I can meet my goals. Should be a fun week.
Blogging events are really fun, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this. Frankly, as busy as you are, I'm amazed at all that you do.
ReplyDeleteYeah!! Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to this. This being my first event I am really excited, I also like that I can set my own goals so I won't be overwhelmed.
