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. - From the Bout of Books team
So my lovely readers are you ready for another read-a-thon???!!!!???? Hell Yeah!!!!!
So the aim for the Bout of Books read-a-thon is simple... to read more books in a week than you normally do. Well I average 2 books a week because of other commitments so I have set myself a simple TBR.
There is a total of five full books and a partial book... lets get into it!!!!
- The partial book is one I have almost complete however I have hit the imaginary wall when reading and have no drive to finish this story... and I am rather disappointed to say that this is Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan. I only have roughly 50 pages left of the book but like I have said I just cant push myself to finish even though I know the ending is amazing.
- The next book is the last in the original Percy Jackson series and that is the Last Olympian also by Rick Riordan and I have high hopes for the last book in this epic series. After completing this I will be doing a full series review which will be up in the week after Bout of Books.
- Next I have decided that I really need to read this series and even though I only have the first two books this read-a-thon is the perfect reason to start another series... and that is the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series by Laini Taylor. I have only ever heard amazing things about this book and am utterly ashamed to not have read it yet. So the third book for the read-a-thon is obviously Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
- So naturally the next book is the second in the series and that is Days of Star and Moonlight by Laini Taylor which sounds amazing... I would also have the third book however I don't currently own the book and im waiting until October for any major book hauls and you know this will be in there!!!!
- Well this book is to fulfil a need of mine; I have just finished the first two books in the Throne of Glass series and am waiting here patiently (not so patiently) for Heir of Fire on September 2nd; well the fifth book for the read-a-thon is the four novellas for the Throne of Glass series in the book the Assassin's Blade by Sarah J Maas. No one understands my love for this series and the pain of having to wait... God knows what I'll be like waiting for the fourth book...
- The final book on my TBR is to fulfil a challenge I set myself in the BookTubeAThon challenge; and that is to read at least one crime novel in each read-a-thon... for this read-a-thon I have chosen Play to Kill by P.J. Tracy. This psychological crime novel sounds like its going to give me nightmares and I am looking for a crime novel that will really stick with you. Do you have any suggestions?
So what will all my lovely readers be reading for this read-a-thon?
