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 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th 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 18 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

With 2017 just starting, I thought I’d use Bout of Books 18 to begin the year as I mean to go on – with plenty of reading.

These are some of the books I’m thinking of reading for Bout of Books 18!

This time I think I’m going to be very book focused. Normally when I take part in Bout of Books I try and take part in at least one challenge and Twitter chat, but not so this time. The only goal I am going to set myself for Bout of Books 18 is this: read as many books as I can. Which is, I’ll be honest, pretty open but as I’ve leart from past read-a-thons it’s never a good idea to put too much pressure on yourself.

If you’re taking part in Bout of Books 18 please let me know in the comments. And if you want to see how my progress is going be sure to check my updates page (going up soon).
