Last year I participated in the 9.0 read-a-thon and had a blast. Before I get I to hat I plan to read( TBR: to be read), here is some info.
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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
It was such a blast to go on twitter and see how everyone was progressing and see some challenges. I don't usually use twitter but for massive read-a-longs online, it's super fun!
This year, there are nearly 1000 reader's who signed up. I didn't sign up and many youtuber's haven't but we're all participating anyway. Wow! That's a lot of people.
What I plan on reading?
1- The One by Keira Cass
2- Pride Over Pity by Kailyn Lowry (MTV teen mom)
3- Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
4- Requiem by Lauren Oliver
If I can finish those I'll be happy.
I'm going to keep a track of the pages I read and might participate in the charity deal.
Some people are donating %10 of the pages they read to a charity of their choice. Would be fun and a great cause all in one. I haven't picked a charity yet but a literacy one would be fitting.
What do you plan on reading and would you donate to a charity using a read-a-long. Some are even donating $5 to a charity for each book they read. That's a great idea as well.
Happy Reading!
Sarah
