Hi Everyone!
Stopping by with a quick update for a readathon that I will be participating in during the new year!
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, January 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th 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 15 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

I have a few reviews that I have been provided electronically, so I am hoping to use it to catch up! It will also give me a chance to get started on my 2016 challenges.
Here is my reading list:
4) Lady Bird and Lyndon Johnson
Are you participating? What do you plan to read?
Happy Reading!

Wrap Up Thoughts: This was my first challenge with Bout of Books and I feel like it was very positive! The challenges, chats, and people were alot of fun to participate in and get to know. I struggled a bit at the end because of my cold, but I still read over 1,000 pages, so I am very happy. The next one is in May!
*waves hi*!!! I figured I should visit the blog since we've been talking on Twitter lol I LOVE it! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI've never done a Bout of Books. Any time I join these things I immediately don't want to read. But I do follow and enjoy everyone else's progress.
Good luck!
