Bout of Books Read-a-thon 6.0 Goals

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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 6.0 team

    First off, congrats for finishing your WIP! *throws confetti* A readathon is fabulous reward, in my opinion. ;) You've got some fabulous books lined up though! I forgot to put Roar & Liv on my TBR list, but I'm going to be reading that one, along with a reread of UtNS and then, FINALLY TtEN! :D I'm also really curious to see what you think of Nobody, since I've seen a few mixed reviews.

    Good luck with your goals, and happy reading Amber! <3

      Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy and am even more excited to be rewarding myself.

      I've been hearing mixed reviews about Nobody too. Hopefully I like it.

      Thanks #hashtaghomie!

      Hopefully this reading thing sticks this week. I'm going to need something to distract myself from the fact that my book is now out there in people's hands...

    Well done on finishing editing! What a great selection of books for BoB, I really need to read UtNS, maybe I should add it as one of my goal books!

    Happy reading!

    I'm halfway through Beautiful Creatures and love it so far. I haven't heard of the two next to it (onward to Goodreads!), but the other two are on my to-read list! :)

    Good luck with your goals this week!

Thinking of writing something below? Well, that's why you are awesome! I always love feedback!

This blog is an award free zone. With the demand of a full time job, blogging time is becoming much more precious and I just don't have the time to meet the demands of awards. Thanks so much for thinking of me anyway!
