Bout of Books 11

August 17, 2014 Blogger Events 4

Bout of BooksBout of Books 11 starts tomorrow and I’m excited to be joining in! As usual, I’ll just try to read as much as possible, particularly making an effort to cut out TV. I’ll also be tracking the time I spend reading and the number of pages I make it through here. I also hope to participate in at least two of the challenges being hosted throughout the week. For those of you unfamiliar with Bout of Books, I’d like to highly recommend it and share the official blurb with you here:
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 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.
Happy reading all!

dewey-300x300Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon – April 26th

Basically this event is an excuse to do what we’ve all secretly wanted to do and completely blow off the world for a day and just read. Last year I stayed up for all 24 hours and it was fantastic. Recommendations for having a good time include: periodic breaks to get snacks and stretch, some short books, and participation in mini-challenges and twitter chats. Sign-ups are here.

Monday Musings About Read-a-Thons

August 19, 2013 Monday Musings 29

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…

• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

Today is the first day of Bout of Books! Woo! So for my musing today I’m thinking about my goals for this delightfully laid back read-a-thon and would love to hear about yours. Read more »
