Bout of Books 12 - Sign Up

Yes, I’m doing this!
I absolutely love the time of the year when Bout of Books comes to life once more. As someone who truly enjoys read-a-thons, this is the sort of literary online event that I simply can’t miss. Bout of Books 12 will run from 5-11 of January and in case you’re not familiar with the ‘concept’, here’s what you need to know:

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 5th and runs through Sunday, January 11th 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 12 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
