Bout of Books 21 Wrap Up

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th 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 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Wrap Up:

So I didn't get as many books as I wanted read, I only finished 2 when I wanted to finish 3 or 4. But I'm not mad. Lol. I'm happy with the two books I did finish, those being:

The Last Girl on Earth by Alexandra Blogier
Warcross by Marie Lu

I also had a great time doing some of the challenges and twitter chats, though I'll admit, I was still sleeping during the 2nd twitter chat. I really meant to wake up and participate but I was just too tired. Lol. But I really had a lot of fun doing Bout of Books! I'll definitely be back for 22 in May!

Bout of Books 21

I definitely need Bout of Books. I fell behind my reading goal at the end of last year, so I wanna start this year off right! I'm hoping to read read read and finish at least 3 books during Bout of Books! I'm hoping though if I can, to actually finish 4-5 Books. Get some reviews scheduled ad get ahead finally! I've also met some awesome bloggers through Bout of Books, so I can't wait to meet and talk with some more! :D
