This is my favorite Read-a-thon to participate in (okay, it’s the only one… but it’s awesome!).
Here’s a little more about the event:
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, May 8th and runs through Sunday, May 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 19 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
Niki’s Goals:
– Finish 3 books
– Read 1000 pages
Last Read-a-thon I finished 2 books and read around 900 pages. I’m hoping to up the ante this time around. :)
Here’s a look at the books on my immediate radar:
(subject to change if I see something shiny)
-
- Voyage of the Basilisk by Marie Brennan
-
- Twisted Citadel by Sara Douglass
-
- Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
-
- Steeplejack by A.J. Hartley
-
- The Fiercest Joy by Shana Abe

Good luck with this! Life has been super busy, so I’m going to take this week off from doing any heavy reading, but I hope you kill it! (Voyage of the Basilisk looks great!)

It’s really fun! They do one about 3 times a year. I especially like it because it mixes things up for me. I find myself getting too into a routine without it. :) and thanks!! ❤️

Yay!!! Oh this will be fun! Maybe I’ll be caught up to you with WoT by then. Just saying…
Although, sometimes it can be fun to binge read YA.
